@dylantheanthropologist: Meet the oldest person in Illinois and the oldest Swedish person in world history! 👵🏻🇸🇪 Doris Noreen, born September 15, 1913, is officially the oldest person in the state of Illinois. She was born and raised in the town of Rockford and lived through incredible world events such as WWI, WWII, the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the Great Depression, and unbelievable changes in medicine and technology between 1913 and today. What also makes Doris remarkable - her father emigrated from Sweden in the 1800s. He moved to the town of Rockford which has one of the highest populations of Swedes in the country. Currently, Doris is the oldest Swedish person in the world. After her birthday in September, she also became the oldest Swedish person EVER in world history! To say it was an honor to meet and interview this lady is understatement! Thank you to Doris for sharing your time and story! I hope everyone appreciates this amazing person 🙏🏼🇸🇪 #oralhistory #genealogy #historytok #swedish #oldpeopleontiktok

Amazing the changes that have happened in her lifetime. I’m not sure how that would feel, knowing you’re the last man (woman) standing out of all your peers, siblings, friends, teachers, probably even children. I can imagine it might feel lonely, in a way. But I’m glad she’s had a good life, and I hope she’s surrounded by lots of loving family and kindness. ❤️

Southern Indiana here. My Grandmother was also born in 1913 and lived to 103! That year produced some amazingly strong, beautiful women! Keep living your best life Doris!🥰

That’s amazing! Happy oldest person from Sweden! She is from the time of my grandmother. I had one grandmother born 1910 and the other 1917 both of my grandparents have been gone for a very long time. It makes me happy to see somebody from their time still alive. Hip hip hurray!
