Died the oldest inhabitant of the planet
On June 17, in the US state of Michigan, near Detroit, Jerelyn Talley, the oldest woman on the planet, died at the age of 116. Her 77-year-old daughter, Thelma Holloway, said in a statement.
“She was ready to retire. After leaving this place, she does not suffer. She asked the Lord to take her peacefully, and he did. She now rests in peace,” the deceased veteran’s daughter told the Detroit Free Press.
Jerelyn Talley is survived by a daughter and three generations of grandchildren. After her death, the primacy in importance of age now also belongs to a US citizen who was born back in the 19th century, in 1899 - 115-year-old Suzanne Mushatt Jones from New York.
