An American-born woman who became not only the oldest living person in the world but also the oldest person to survive contracting COVID-19 passed away at the staggering age of 117 on Tuesday. Maria Branyas had assumed the Guinness World Record title following the death of French nun Lucile Randon in January. Born 1907 in San Francisco to Catalan parents, Branyas lived in Texas and Louisiana with her family before returning to Barcelona and later Banyoles.
