Fannie Jones, the oldest living person in the U.S. state of Oklahoma, passed away on 4 December, at the age of 112 years, 105 days.
Jones was born in El Dorado, Arkansas, on 21 August 1913, to parents James and Minnie Brown. She had at least one sister, Tina. She met her husband, construction worker Leroy Jones, through a friend in Arkansas. The couple had at least one daughter, Ruth, and Fannie worked as a field cropper whilst raising the children.
On 7 August 2025, following the passing of Lois Boston, she became the oldest known living person in Oklahoma.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Fannie Jones during this difficult time.
