2 legendary women die at ages 108, 115

Julia Hawkins took up running on her 100th birthday while Elizabeth Francis was the oldest person living in the U.S.

Imagine being 95 and saying your mom is still alive.

[@jcsambucha]

not anymore

[@Toofargonetosave]

My grandma is 96 I think

[@shareedavis5610]

I literally was just thinking the same thing. These ladies were truly blessed & highly favored! Rest in paradise to these beautiful, strong women.❤

[@fredflintstone5356]

@@shareedavis5610 she looked very good for 115 too! Almost twice the age my dad was when he passed this year. Seeing this though makes me glad to see good kind hearted people living full lives. So many good people pass way to young.

[@shareedavis5610]

@fredflintstone5356 I agree. Unfortunately, I know that feeling too well. My Dad was 62 when he passed away. I'm sorry for your loss & I will be praying for you & your family.❤️

Imagine having this woman as your teacher like 30 years ago and thinking she was old then. Imagine rediscovering her now! Amazing women, both. RIP

[@skullcollecter2979]

More like 40 years ago.. She must have taught her first students in the 1950s and 60s..

[@maxruggiero4338]

@@skullcollecter2979 the funny thing is I had 40 typed and changed it to 30😂

[@skullcollecter2979]

@@maxruggiero4338 Actually even 40 years means that she was in excellent health because you usually don't find 75 year old teachers. She must have taught her last batches in the late 1970s. Imagine being 60 years old today and having a 65 year old teacher 50 years back and finding out that she was still alive 🤔. She must have outlived most of her students. Incredible to think of.

[@tardisgradeuniverse383]

Wow.. still being able to run at 100 years old is such a cool life goal to strive towards. RIP to them both 😢

[@bonnieparkertheoutlaw7353]

Was thinking the same thing and I’m 27 and don’t remember the last time I actually ran. It makes me want to do better.

[@tardisgradeuniverse383]

@@bonnieparkertheoutlaw7353 hahaha same age same problem. Can't live to 100 if the last time I ran was highschool 😂🥹 better get started on it though cause science may only give us a decade or two longer than the current average.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

My late grandmother lived until 100 and was able to walk but I was not sure about running.

[@TheGreatAmerican66]

R.I.P. to both of these great American women wow my condolences to the families. My mom is 97 years old October 17 😮 Happy Birthday mom 2024

[@fracklo]

Wow! Your mother is blessed :) My mom's 46 this year and I hope she keeps herself healthy to older ages! Let's cherish our time with our mothers the best we can while they're still here 😊😊

[@tammiep9628]

To be able to sit down with each of these women and have such a nice long talk on their lives, what a book these would be. Rest in peace, beautiful ladies.❤❤

Well deserve, it's crazy that some people retire at 62 and die before 70. The goverment get to keep their money.

She was born in Louisiana two years before the state issued birth certificates. Her day of birth is divisible by five. She did not know what town she was born in. 2024 ig nobel prize for demographics might have something to say about this one.

[@BillCosbyTouchedMyDoodle]

Reminds me of the episode of “Married With Children” when an old lady came to the shoe store on Christmas Eve just as Al Bundy was about to close for the night. As he impatiently waited for her to pay him for the shoes, she realized she didn’t have the money, and then turned to the exit and hollered “Mom!” who had the money, which as it turned out, she didn’t either. So she hollered “Mom” as well.

The one who died at age 115 is gonna be me in 2122.
