MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bolden, recognized as the world’s oldest person, died Monday in a nursing home, the home’s administrator said. She was 116.<\/p>\n

Bolden was born Aug. 15, 1890, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a Los Angeles organization that tracks the ages of the world’s oldest people.<\/p>\n

Guinness World Records recognized Bolden as the oldest person in the world in August after the death of Maria Esther de Capovilla of Ecuador, who also was 116.<\/p>\n

Bolden died at the Mid-South Health and Rehabilitation Center, a nursing home where she had been living for several years, said the center’s administrator, Charlotte Pierce. Bolden suffered a stroke in 2004, and her family said she spoke little after that and slept much of the time.<\/p>\n

Family members said this year that Bolden had 40 grandchildren, 75 great-grandchildren, 150 great-great-grandchildren, 220 great-great-great grandchildren and 75 great-great-great-great grandchildren.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to Kathleen Carbone for the heads up on this one!<\/p>\n
