The world's oldest living person died Tuesday at 118 years old. 

Lucile Randon — a French nun known as Sister André — lived at the Sainte-Catherine-Laboure nursing home in the Southern French city of Toulon, where she died. She passed in her sleep at 2:00 a.m. local time, the New York Times reported.

André claimed the title of the oldest living person in the world after Japanese Kane Tanaka died in 2022 at 119, according to The Gerontology Research Group.

Her secrets? Work as long as you can. 

"Working … makes you live. I worked until I was 108," André told French media in April, the Associated Press reported. 

Growing up Protestant, André converted to Catholicism at age 26 and began working for the church twenty years later, where she claimed the title of "Sister," the New York Times reported. 

According to the New York Times, just last year, she told reporters that "work kept me alive." 

André was also known to enjoy a glass of wine and a piece of chocolate every day.

"Her glass of wine maintains her and which is perhaps her longevity secret. I don't know - I don't encourage people to drink a glass of wine every day!" a staff member from André's nursing home told Guinness World Records. 

André has lived through two world wars and both the 1918 influenza pandemic and the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years.

André didn't even realize she had caught COVID-19 as she had no symptoms during her illness. 

In her final years, André faced signs of aging that caused her to feel "lonely," including blindness and the need to use a wheelchair, the New York Times reported. 

"She had become for the French a symbol of continuity and resistance, a memory of the century," a statement from French President Emmanuel Macron's office said, the Times reported. According to the AP, the statement also lauded "this altruistic personality whom the French considered as a reference, a source of pride and attachment.
