Every person wants that he or his relatives live a long life, stay healthy and stay together. But not everyone’s wish gets fulfilled! However, this wish of 6 sisters living in America has been fulfilled. These 6 sisters are the oldest siblings in the world and if the age of all of them is added together, it becomes more than 5 centuries. They have seen and faced many big events in life, including the Second World War and the Covid pandemic.

The sisters saw a lot
The oldest sister, Norma, lives in Ohio, while the other five sisters, Lauren, Maxine, Doris, Margaret and Elma, still live in Missouri. Over the past nine decades, the sisters have lived through the Great Depression, World War II and the COVID pandemic. One of the sisters, Elma, said that apart from petty fights, the sisters have never had any animosity. They have been very close to each other throughout their lives. They have often traveled together, wearing shirts with numbers written on them that indicate their ages.
The sisters had an elder brother
When they were young, their mother used to take them on picnics in July because 3 of the sisters were born in July. Even today the sisters have maintained this tradition and meet in the summer. These 6 sisters have only 1 brother, whose name is Stanley. Stanley was the eldest and if he were alive this year, he would have been 102 years old but when he was 81 years old, he met with an accident while riding a bicycle, due to which he died.
