British Nun Ethel Caterham, 115, Now Oldest Person Living
Centenarian and World's Oldest Person Passes Away at 116 in Brazilian residence - Centenarian Man, Oldest Record-Holder at 116, Passes Away in Brazil
Get ready folks! A new record-holder for the oldest person on Earth has been crowned, and this time, it's not a Brazilian nun anymore. That's right, after the passing of Inah Canabarro Lucas at 116 years old in Brazil, the title has been snatched by none other than Ethel Caterham, a resident of Surrey, England.
You might find Ethel a regular at the local football games in Porto Alegre - well, an 115-year-old version of her, as she was rumored to be a devoted fan of Sport Club Internacional. Sport Club Internacional paid tribute to the late Inah on their X platform, but it seems like it's time for another round to honor our dear Ethel.
Ethel Caterham, born on August 21, 1909, in Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire, UK, has just shattered records and become the oldest person ever verified from the UK. Now, she's the first British holder of the title in over a decade.
At the time of this recognition, Ethel was 115 years and 252 days old. With the validation from both LongeviQuest and Guinness World Records, this tough-as-nails, age-defying British warrior remains the last person born during King Edward VII’s reign (1901–1910). Talk about a legacy!
