French nun Lucile Randon, who was the world's oldest known person, died on Tuesday (January 18) at the age of 118. Randon, who was known as Sister Andre, was just a month away from turning 119. She was born on February 11, 1904. Randon called the southern French city of Toulon her home.

"It is with immense sadness and emotion that I learnt tonight of the passing of the world’s oldest person Sister Andre," wrote Toulon’s mayor Hubert Falco on Twitter.
