American Edna Parker, the world's oldest known person, will celebrate her 115th birthday on Sunday, defying mind-boggling odds.
Her achievement was recognised by Guinness World Records last August after the death of a Japanese woman four months her senior.
There are only 75 people alive - 64 women and 11 men - that are 110 or older, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a California-based organisation that verifies reports of extreme ages.
Mrs Parker, who was born April 20, 1893, has been a widow since her husband Earl died of a heart attack in 1938."

Happy Birthday
