Tengrinews.kz - Maria Branyas Morera, recognized as the oldest living person on Earth, has passed away at the age of 117.

Just before her passing, Maria had agreed to participate in scientific studies, hoping to uncover the secrets of her remarkable longevity.

Born in San Francisco in 1907 during the second wave of the bubonic plague, Maria later moved to Spain in 1915 after her father, Josep, fell ill. Throughout her 117 years, Maria witnessed and survived the bubonic plague, two World Wars, the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish flu pandemic, and Covid-19. She also outlived her only son, whom she raised with her late husband, Joan Moret, who passed away in 1976.

Reports say that Maria remained mentally sharp until her final days. Shortly before her death, she felt weak and asked her family not to grieve when she was gone, reassuring them that she would be happy "wherever she goes."
