"She was a really sweet lady. She was relatively perky and coherent when I talked with her before the party," Trisollini said. "When you asked for advice on how to live a long life she would say, 'Use a lot of skin moisturizer, treat everyone nice, love your neighbor and eat your own cooking. Don't eat at fast food places.'"
Weaver attained the title of World’s oldest person after the death of 117-year old Misao Okawa, a Japanese woman who passed away on April 1.
The Los-Angeles-based Gerontology Research Group verified Weaver’s age using census records and a marriage certificate from 1915 listing her as 17-years-old.
Trisollini said staff from the nursing home where Weaver lived, as well as many members of the community, planned on attending her birthday party in July. Weaver said she wanted President Barack Obama to attend — she voted for him twice.
