ELSIE THOMPSON (April 5, 1899-March 21, 2013)
Died just weeks from her 114th birthday. Born Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Her husband was Ronald Thompson, a Republican Pennsylvania state representative. Moved to Clearwater, Florida, in 1971.
Said the secret to her longevity was loving people and greeting each day with a smile.
She, however, wasn't the oldest person in the world. That would have been Maria Radaelli, of Italy who was two days older, but she has since died on April 3, 2013.
I don't know who the oldest people in the world or the United States are now.
What She Lived Through.
