In brief
Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas, born on June 8, 1908, was known not just for her age, but for her contagious spirit and love for life. A Catholic nun from southern Brazil, her passion for Sport Club Internacional, her beloved football team, was just one of the highlights of her long life. Sister Inah credited her longevity to her faith in God. As she celebrated each birthday with cakes resembling her favorite stadium, she was a source of kindness and joy to all around her. With her passing, the mantle of the world's oldest living person now goes to 115-year-old Ethel Caterham from Surrey, England.
Sister Inah passed away peacefully in Porto Alegre and was remembered fondly for her vibrant personality and unwavering faith. Despite her declining health in her later years, where she battled hearing and vision impairments, her daily routine of waking, praying, and sleeping at the same time brought her peace. She had remained a positive presence, showing gratitude and good humor throughout her incredible journey. With more than a century of life, Sister Inah's legacy as a devoted nun and enthusiastic football supporter will forever be cherished.
