World's Oldest Woman Dies

Although, not necessarily a celebrity, here is some interesting news.



The world's oldest person, Edna Parker, died at the age 115 Wednesday. The Indiana woman was born April 20, 1893 and has been the oldest person according to the Guinness World Records since Yone Minagawa of Japan died in 2007. He had been four months older. Parker lived to be 115 years and 220 days old.

Tips to live longer? She gave none. However, she never drank alcohol, never tried tobacco and lived an active life.
