Leandra Becerra Lumbreras (31 August 1887 – 19 March 2015) was a Mexican longevity claimant, who has reportedly lived for 127 years, 201 days.

Biography

Lumbreras was reportedly born on 31 August 1887, to parents who were singers. As The Telegraph writes, this means "She was 27 when World War One erupted, 75 when John F. Kennedy was shot and over 100 when the Berlin Wall came down."

From 1910-1917, Lumbreras fought as a leader of the Adelitas in the Mexican Revolution. The Adelitas were a group of women that joined their husbands in battle. During the revolution, she was romantically involved with Margarito Maldonado, a revolutionary leader. Maldonado gave Lumbreras an old rifle that she still owned in 2014. Lumbreras recounted that Maldonado was "one of the great loves of her life."

It has been reported that Lumbreras has outlived her five children and several of her 20 grandchildren, but she still has 73 great-grandchildren and 55 great-great-grandchildren.

Oldest living person

Lumbreras lost her birth certificate in a move in 1974, meaning she cannot definitely prove her age. Since she did not have her birth certificate the Guinness World Records could not verify Lumbreras' claim and instead recognized Misao Okawa, born in 1898, as the oldest living person.
