Born on July 6, 1899, Jones became the record holder on June 17, 2015 at the age of 115 years and 346 days, Guinness Book of World Records confirmed to ABC News today.
"While she lost her eyesight years ago and is hard of hearing, Jones isn't bed-bound and only takes a few medications a day," Guinness wrote in a press release. "Ms. Jones, also known as "T," which is short for auntie, to her 100 nieces and nephews and "Susie" to friends, will also become the oldest living female."
The centenarian revealed to Guinness that she attributes lots of shut-eye to her long life on this earth.
Jones will celebrate her 116th birthday today with family and again with a larger party among her housing community and friends on July 7.
The oldest person ever to have lived was Jeanne Calment of France, also a female, who lived to 122 years and 164 days.

What wrong shit? My Odionwere is 134
Never.. Are they mad?
That's actually an urban myth. We live much shorter lives in sub-Saharan Africa. Forget abt that Aunty in your village that ppl claim is over a 100 yrs old. They are more than likely mistaken #scientificfact #nigerianlifeexpectancy
Nigerians are not proud of their own. Let us show case what we have.
My Grand dad died @ 125.... Abeg make dem pack well
They didn't make their findings well, my grandma is over 120 and the only issue she has is memory.
