A 118-year-old nun living in a nursing home in southern France has become the world's oldest living person, according to the Guinness World Records.
Sister André is also the world's oldest living nun and the oldest nun ever, according to a statement released by the record-breaking authority on Monday.
Born as Lucile Randon on February 11, 1904, Sister André has dedicated most of her life to religious service, the statement said. Before becoming a Catholic nun, she looked after children during World War II and then spent 28 years caring for orphans and elderly people at a hospital.

The US Marine Corps is no stranger to firing live ordnance as part training, but it had been years — more than 70, according to one US official — since Marines had fired artillery over a stretch of the I-5 interstate in California like they did last weekend during the Corps’ 250th birthday celebration.
