Great-great-grandma Celebrates 114th Birthday

Centenarians represent a rapidly expanding demographic globally, according to Pew Research Center. Still, a Houston woman, Elizabeth Francis, stands out even within this group as she just celebrated her 114th birthday in the company of five generations of her family. Among them were her 94-year-old daughter Dorothy Williams and 68-year-old granddaughter Ethel Harrison.

Francis’ milestone celebration comes with several accolades as she is currently named the oldest resident in Texas, the second-oldest person in the United States, the seventh oldest person globally, and also the world’s second-oldest individual living independently at home.

Francis’ granddaughter, Ethel Harrison, added that her grandmother maintained the habit of preparing her meals at home. “She always grew her vegetables in the backyard,” she admitted to KTRK-TV. “I never saw her go to a fast food restaurant … like Chick-fil-A and all the places I liked to go. She never did that.”

“Whenever you went to her house, I don’t care what day of the week, she was cooking. So, I just think that had a lot to do with it, too,” Harrison added.” Just how she took care of her body and things like that.”
