HOUSTON — Elizabeth Francis, the oldest living person in the U.S., died Tuesday at 115 years old.

Francis was born in Louisiana in 1909, according to LongeviQuest. She lived through many historical events like women getting the right to vote in the U.S. through the 19th amendment, World War I and II, the civil rights movement and a global pandemic, to name a few.

She lived in Houston for most of her life, according to Texas Public Radio, and was an icon in the community. She was among the 25 longest living people in U.S. history.

The supercentenarian celebrated her 115th birthday back in July, where she was surrounded by her family —  including her 95-year-old daughter and granddaughter, who was her primary caretaker. At the time of her last birthday, she was the fourth-oldest living person in the world and one of 68 people known to have reached age 115.

A long life seems to run in Francis’ family. Her sister Bertha died at 106 years old in 2011.

According to a report by LongeviQuest, when asked in April how she feels about being the oldest living person in the U.S., Francis said “I just feel like living every day!”
