Despite her record in the US, Francis is the fourth oldest person in the world, with the title of the oldest belonging to Maria Branyas Morena, who is 117 and lives in Spain.
Francis’s journey through time includes surviving the Great Depression, witnessing the end of both World Wars, and seeing technological advancements from the early telephone to modern smartphones. Known affectionately as “America’s grandmother,” she continues to live a fulfilling life, enjoying old sitcoms and spending time with her daughter. Her family celebrates each year she reaches another milestone, with Harrison expressing gratitude for each birthday cake they share.
Ben Meyers, CEO of LongeviQuest, which awarded Francis a plaque recognizing her as the oldest person in the US, praised her as a symbol of faith, fortitude, and family.
