A Portuguese woman believed to be the world's oldest living person died on Friday at the age of 115.
Maria de Jesus, who was born on Sept. 10, 1893 was widowed at 57. De Jesus outlived three of her six children. She also had 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
De Jesus was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest person on Nov 26, 2008. That title now falls to an American, 114-year-old Gertrude Baines.
There are now only 82 women and nine men verified as being 110 or older, according to Gerontology Research Group at the University of California.
