AUSTIN: Gertrude Weaver, who last week became the world’s oldest-known living person, died at the age of 116 at a senior care facility in Arkansas on Monday.

Weaver, who said the key to longevity was to treat people kindly, basked in her brief moment in the global spotlight. She enjoyed being read news articles about being the oldest person on the planet, said Kathy Langley, the administrator of the Silver Oaks Health & Rehabilitation Center in Camden, Arkansas. “She certainly enjoyed it,” Langley said, adding, “we are devastated by her loss.” Weaver was born on July 4, 1898, according to the Gerontology Research Group, which validates ages of the world’s longest-living people.
