World’s oldest person, Maria Branyas dies at 117


Maria Branyas, who was acknowledged as the world's oldest person, has passed away at the age of 117 on Monday. 


She spent the last two decades of her life at the Santa Maria del Tura nursing home in Olot, a town in northern Catalonia. Born on March 4, 1907, in San Francisco, California. Branyas lived through significant historical events over more than a century. In January 2023, she became the world's oldest person following the passing of French nun Lucile Randon at the age of 118.


Maria Branyas, born to a Catalan family in San Francisco, moved back to Catalonia with her family during World War I. She vividly remembered the perilous journey across the Atlantic at the age of seven. She also lived through both World Wars and the Spanish Civil War, retaining sharp memories of those tumultuous times. At the age of 113, in May 2020, Branyas became the oldest known person to survive COVID-19.


In recognition of her exceptional life, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors officially commended Maria Branyas when she was 116 years and 249 days old in 2023. The resolution praised her as an "active and engaged resident" of her nursing home in Olot. The Board of Supervisors declared November 7, 2023, as 'Maria Branyas Day' in San Francisco and the local county, emphasizing her contributions to humanity and the lessons she has to impart at this pivotal moment in our planet's history.
