Oldest American Who Just Died at 115 Shared Her Secret to a Long Life: 'I…Thank the Good Lord'

[Faithwire.com] Elizabeth Francis very literally saw it all. The nation's oldest person died last Tuesday at the age of 115, with friends and loved ones issuing praise and adoration after her incredible life. (Screengrab image: via ABC News)

According to CNN, Francis was known as "Queen Elizabeth of Houston," and media headlines often surrounded her longevity and her amazing life. She was born in 1909 and lived through both World Wars, America's civil rights battle—and even saw 20 presidents come to power, the outlet noted.

Francis, who lived in Houston, Texas, most of her life, worked at her church and ran a coffee shop at a local TV station.

During that same interview, she revealed 1 John 4:8 is her favorite Bible verse. It reads, "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
