Ethel Caterham, 115, becomes world's oldest living person

Ethel Caterham, a 115-year-old British woman residing in Surrey, has become the world's oldest living person following the death of Brazilian nun Sister Inah Canabarro. Caterham attributes her longevity to 'never arguing with anyone' and living life according to her own preferences. Born in 1909, she spent parts of her life in India, Hong Kong, and Gibraltar and was congratulated by the King of England on her 115th birthday. Her life has been celebrated as an inspiration by her care home, highlighting her strength, spirit, and wisdom. Caterham is now officially recognized by organizations such as the Gerontology Research Group and LongeviQuest as the oldest living person, although the oldest person ever was Jeanne Calment of France, who lived to 122. Caterham's story has resonated widely as a testament to resilience and a positive approach to life.
