Digital Desk: Known as “Queen Elizabeth of Houston,” Elizabeth Francis passed on at the age of 115 this week, she was the oldest person in the United States of America and the third in the whole world. There were few people in the societies who were described to be supercentenarians, someone who lived up to be more than one hundred and eleven years old and Francis is among these people. Francis's room walls are decorated with birthday greetings from President Obama, the Clinton family, and many others annually. Few people are classified as a supercentenarian, a person who lives to be older than 110.
Ethel Harrison, her granddaughter who took care of her as well as managing her tube-fed handicap said that many politicians, community members, and relatives paid frequent visits to her home-sick in Houston.“She loved it. She loved people.”
According to LongeviQuest, at the time of her death, she was as recorded as the world’s oldest human. Francis and her sister Bertha Johnson, made history as the sibling pair with the oldest combined age in the world – Johnson reached 106 before she died in 2011.
Francis was born in 1909 in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana and I have listed some of the events she witnessed as follows. She saw twenty presidents, two wars, a segregated society, and the civil rights movement as it actually occurred in to LongeviQuest, a global database that tracks the world’s oldest individuals.
Francis had a tough childhood years when her mother passed away in 1920. She was then transferred to Galveston Texas where she was under the care of her aunt. She was then moved to Galveston, Texas, where she was raised by her aunt. Her other five siblings were taken to different homes.
She was devoted to helping other people spending her time working at church and serving at TV station KTRK for more than two decades as the owner of a coffee shop. Houston lived most of her life in the city of Houston.
They say Francis seldom drank alcohol or smoked, which mentally many of them associated with her having lived for so long. Every time someone asked Francis where such faith comes from, she would always reply, that it is from God. For Francis, faith was the core of everything she lived: It helped her to go through the difficult moments and define how she had to treat others. would always attribute it to God.
Francis’s faith was everything to her, It was what kept her going throughout the hard times and framed the way she treated others.
The family will have a wake beginning the first week in November for Francis at Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church.
