He died there on Tuesday (January 17) in his sleep. Lucille Randon is considered the oldest living person in Europe. Before Lucille, the world's oldest person was Ken Tanaka of Japan. He died in 2022 at the age of 119. Then the French woman was named as the oldest person. Meanwhile, when Lucille Randon was born in 1904, the first subway was opened in the most modern city of today, New York. About a decade after his birth, World War I broke out.

Lucille Randon grew up in a Christian Protestant family. He had three other brothers. They lived in Els, France. Lucille Randon gave an interview to AFP on her 116th birthday. At that time he talked about his family. He said that the best moment of his life came in 1918. That year his two brothers came home from World War I together. He also reported that most of the men who went to war lost their lives. But his two brothers came back together.

A spokeswoman for the nursing home where Lucille lived said she often spoke of her brothers and hoped to see them again after she died.
