Gertrude Baines was born in Shellman, Georgia, on April 6, 1894. She lived an astonishing 115 years, earning her the title of The Oldest Person on the Planet, a title she quietly relinquished Friday, September 11, 2009 when she died in her sleep at the Western Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Her remains were entrusted to Harrison-Ross Mortuaries View Park Chapel, Los Angeles, CA, with interment following at Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, CA, on September 23, 2009.
Of course at age 115 it does'nt really matter how well you're taking care of yourself, if think that's why the doctor moderately said he hoped for her to live one or two more years, despite her excellent health. She could live ten days more or ten years more - who knows?
I whish her the best, she seems very vital for her age!
