An Iowa woman who was believed to be the oldest person in the US died this week, according to a funeral home.
Bessie Hendricks died Tuesday at the age of 115 in Lake City, Iowa, the Lampe and Powers Funeral Home said.
Hendricks was born as Bessie Laurena near Auburn, Iowa, on November 7, 1907, according to her published obituary. She was the oldest American resident at the time of her death, according to the Gerontology Research Group.
She worked as a teacher until marrying Paul Hendricks in 1930, more than a decade before the US entered World War II. After 65 years of marriage, her husband died in 1995.
Hendricks lived in her own home until the age of 102, when she moved to the senior care center and resided until her death, her obituary said.
Two of her five children preceded her in death. Hendricks’ survivors include 14 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.
“Family came first to Mom, always,” son Leon Hendricks told CNN affiliate KCCI at his mother’s 115th birthday party last November.
The oldest known person residing in the US is now 114-year-old Edie Ceccarelli, who lives in California, according to the Gerontology Research Group.

Helpful information. Lucky me I found your website by accident, and I’m surprised why this twist of fate did not happened in advance!
I bookmarked it.
I couldn’t refrain from commenting. Well written!
Last night, I suddenly opened my eyes at around 3 AM, haunted by
thoughts of that intense anime Kaiji I watched before bed.
That show really gets under your skin.
Something cool I found out is that many of the games in Kaiji reflect real-life underground gambling strategies.
That just makes me respect the anime even more.
Too wired to sleep, so I decided to read an article that went into
the realism of Kaiji’s gambling scenes. Seriously, if you’re into anime or gambling,
you need to read it too.
With my brain still spinning, I logged into my favorite online casino and decided to spin a few
reels. I picked Book of Ra—it just felt right in that moment.
And get this—I won $1000. Did not see that coming. What I
always enjoy about Book of Ra is how those bonus rounds come out of nowhere
and flip everything.
So now I’m wondering… was it pure chance? Or was that destiny?
What do you think?.
