Brazilian Nun, World’s Oldest at Nearly 117
Sister Inah Canabarro, a Brazilian nun and devout soccer fan, is now recognized as the world’s oldest living person at nearly 117 years old. LongeviQuest, a supercentenarian tracking organization, validated her age based on early life records. Despite health challenges, she remains active in spirit, known for her humor and faith, which she credits for her longevity. Canabarro, a former teacher and marching band founder, even counts a former military dictator among her students and boasts a lifelong love of Inter, her local soccer club.
