Bessie Hendricks is the oldest living person in the United States. She celebrated Monday with three of her kids in Lake City, Iowa.
At 115 years of age, Bessie Hendricks has lived through some things.
According to the Gerontology Research Group, she is the oldest person living in the United States and the fourth oldest person in the world.
"I don't know how you put it into words," said her daughter, Joan Schaffer, who turned 90 a day earlier. "It's marvelous that we still have her."
All three of Hendricks' surviving children joined her for a birthday party at Shady Oaks Care Center in Lake City. https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-woman-celebrates-115th-birthday/41890886
