Ramona Trinidad Iglesias-Jordan

Ramona Trinidad Iglesias-Jordan, the world's oldest woman, died on May 29 of pneumonia. She was 114.

Born in 1889, Iglesias-Jordan's baptismal certificate listed her birthday as Aug. 31, but her birth certificate said Sept. 1. Regardless of this discrepancy, officials at Guinness World Records declared the supercentenarian to be the world's oldest living woman last April.

The eldest of 11 children, Iglesias-Jordan married Alfonso Alonzo-Soler, a bank manager, in 1912. The couple never had any children; he died in the 1970s. Iglesias-Jordan lived a comfortable life and liked to drink beer. She died in a nursing home in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
