Elizabeth Francis was one of the few people classified as a supercentenarian, a person who lives to be older than 110 .

She witnessed 20 presidents, two world wars, a segregated society and civil rights movement in her lifetime.

Francis was the 21st oldest American in history, 54th oldest person to ever live, according to LongeviQuest , a global database that tracks the world's oldest individuals.

Though Francis has outlived most of her friends, the service will be filled with all who loved her. “It’s not going to be sad,” Harrison said. “It’s going to be a happy celebration. A celebration of life.”.
