French Nun Sister André, the World’s Oldest Person, Passes Away At 118

According to a representative, French nun Lucile Randon, who was the oldest person in the world, passed away at the age of 118.

Randon, also known as Sister André, was born on February 11, 1904, in southern France, ten years before the start of the First World War.

According to spokesman David Tavella, she passed away at her Toulon nursing home while she was asleep on Tuesday. There is a lot of sadness, but she wanted to be with her dear brother. According to Tavella of the Sainte-Catherine-Labouré nursing home, “For her, it’s a liberty.” Before the passing of Japan’s Kane Tanaka at the age of 119 last year, the sister had long been regarded as the oldest European.

In addition to the Tour de France having only been held once, Randon was born the year New York City launched its first subway. Before joining a convent in 1944 at the age of 40, she had worked as an instructor and governess. She had been a resident in nursing facilities since 1979, and the Toulon residence since 2009. She survived a case of Covid-19 in 2021 after the virus infected the nursing home where she resided and killed 10 other patients. She reportedly said at the time to the Var-Matin newspaper, “I didn’t even aware I had it.” The nun had displayed no fear of the illness, according to Tavella, who informed the newspaper.

 

She asked me about her regimen instead of her health. She inquired, for instance, about any planned changes to lunch and bedtime schedules. In fact, rather than displaying any dread of the illness, she was more concerned about the other inhabitants, according to Tavella. The nun responded to a question about whether she was afraid to get Covid by telling French news station BFM: “No, I wasn’t afraid since I wasn’t afraid to die. I’m glad to be with you, but I’d rather be somewhere else, with my older brother, my grandfather, and my grandma. Randon said to a French radio station in 2020 that she was unsure of how she had survived for so long. The secret’s unknown to me. She claimed that only God was able to provide an answer.
