Violet Brown

Violet Brown, born on March tenth, nineteen hundred, was a remarkable Jamaican supercentenarian who captured the world's attention as the oldest verified living person for a brief period. Following the passing of Emma Morano on April fifteenth, two thousand seventeen, Violet held this distinguished title until her own death on September fifteenth, two thousand seventeen, at the impressive age of one hundred seventeen years and one hundred eighty-nine days.

Her longevity placed her among an elite group, as she was one of the last two known individuals born in the nineteenth century, alongside the Japanese woman Nabi Tajima. This unique distinction not only highlighted her extraordinary lifespan but also underscored the historical significance of her life.

Violet Brown's legacy as the oldest verified Jamaican person in history remains a testament to her resilience and the rich cultural heritage of Jamaica. Her life story continues to inspire many, reminding us of the incredible journeys that span over a century.
