Tomiko Itooka, the world’s oldest living person, has passed away at the phenomenal age of 116.

Recognized by Guinness World Records, Itooka died in a care home in Ashiya, Japan, local officials announced Saturday. Her passing came on Dec. 29, concluding a long life that began on May 23, 1908. A fan of bananas and Calpis, a popular yogurt-flavored drink in Japan, she embraced these joys through her storied years.

After the death of Maria Branyas at 117 last year, Itooka took the title of oldest living person according to the Gerontology Research Group’s database. When informed of her status atop the World Supercentenarian Rankings List, she modestly said, “thank you.”

Her most recent birthday was a festive affair featuring a bouquet, celebratory cake, and a personal card from the town’s mayor. Born in Osaka with a high school love for volleyball, Itooka stayed spry into her later years, as stated by Nagata, reports the Express US.

She even managed to conquer Mount Ontake—Japan’s second-highest volcano—at twice, standing at 3,067 meters (10,062 feet). At 20, she wed and would eventually become the matriarch to four children: two sons and two daughters, as noted by Guinness records.

Throughout WWII, she oversaw her husband’s textile company in an administrative role. Choosing solitariness in Nara after her husband passed in 1979, she continued to lead a full life. Now she leaves behind a legacy including one son, one daughter, and five grandchildren.

To commemorate her remarkable journey, a private memorial service was held with her nearest and dearest, detailed Nagata. Following Itooka’s death, the Gerontology Research Group has named 116 year old Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas, who was born just 16 days after Itooka, as the world’s oldest living person.
