The world's oldest person died on Wednesday. Her name was Edna Parker and she was 115 years, 220 days old. She was from the state of Indiana in the US and was born on April 20th, 1893. She was a college graduate and a school teacher who married her childhood sweetheart. She outlived him and both her sons and is survived by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
Apparently she liked to be active right up until her death, and her advice for living a long life was simply "education". I think that's pretty awesome, so she gets a mention here. Rock on Edna.
