The woman declared by gerontology experts to be the oldest person in the world is turning 116 Saturday.
Jeralean Talley was born in Montrose, Ga., on May 23, 1899. She's been in Michigan since 1935. Relatives say she remains active and aware of what's going on around her.
Talley was named world's oldest person in April after the death of Gertrude Weaver,who passed away at the age of 116. Weaver died just five days after 117-year-old Misao Okawa died in Japan.
After being told that she was the world's oldest person, Talley said, "I ain't got nothing more but to treat the other fellow like you want to be treated. You don't tell a lie on me so I won't tell a lie on you."
The couple had one child, Thelma Holloway, 77, who lives with her mother and helps take care of her. Holloway has a 2-year-old daughter who frequently visits her great-grandmother.
A 77 year old lady with a 2 year old daughter? That has to be a typo
However who really is the oldest person in the world because I feel like every now and then we hear about new oldest persons of the world without confirmation that the last one died
Yes Jeralean
