GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.?Maud Farris-Luse, recognized last year by the Guinness World Records book as the world’s oldest living person, has died. She was 115.

She died Monday from complications of pneumonia at Community Health Center of Branch County in Coldwater, a town south of Grand Rapids in southwestern Michigan. She had been in the hospital since Sunday night, said Kyle Fassett, administrator of the Laurels of Coldwater, the nursing home where Farris Luse lived.

Farris-Luse was 115 years, 56 days old.

Last June, Guinness editors recognized Farris-Luse as the oldest living person whose age could be verified. Though her birth certificate was lost over the years, the editors authenticated her age through other documents, including U.S. Census Bureau records and her 1903 marriage license.

Farris-Luse was born Jan. 21, 1887, just north of Grand Rapids.
