Sister Inah Lucas, a Brazilian Roman Catholic nun and the world’s oldest living person, has died at the age of 116.
Known for her quiet life of service, Sister Lucas assumed the global longevity title earlier this year following the death of the previous record-holder. Her remarkable life spanned three centuries and included two world wars, several pandemics, and dramatic changes in science and technology.

She passed away peacefully in her sleep at a convent in São Paulo, surrounded by fellow sisters. Though her time as the world’s oldest person was brief, it was celebrated both in Brazil and internationally as a symbol of resilience and grace.
Tributes have poured in from religious leaders, government officials, and admirers around the globe. A statement from her convent described her as “a humble servant whose life quietly inspired generations.”
The title of the world’s oldest living person will now pass to the next verified eldest individual, pending confirmation by global record-keeping bodies.
