Jamaican Violet Brown was the oldest verified living person for 5 months. She got the crown at age 117, after the death of Emma Morano on April 15, 2017.
Brown’s first child, Harland Fairweather, was 97 years old and was believed to have been the oldest person with a living parent. But he died just a few days later, on April 19th, 2017. Still, pretty cool to have a mother-and-son record like that!
