Suzzette Medina was born in Lima, Peru on Jan. 31, 1987 and has not stopped smiling and changing the lives of those she loves until she reached the grand old age of 120. It was always a goal of hers to become one of the oldest women alive, and she proudly accepted her $1,000,000 prize from the Guiness Book of World Records for accomplishing this impressive feat while still looking, feeling, and acting like a youthful 50-year-old. Suzzette was always a giver, and continued donating what she could all the way until her final days, when she wrote her final check for the American Diabetes Association for a substantial amount in memory of her father who passed away from this debilitating disease years earlier. Suzzette has created several foundations in conjunction with her college sorority, Delta Gamma, to assist the visually impaired over the years. Her contribution to her college sorority was admired many times by the organization nationally and has displayed her undying dedication to the elements in her life she truly cares for. Suzzette has spent countless hours of her days volunteering wherever she could and sponsoring impoverished children overseas. She returned to Peru and spent a few years there renovating some buildings that were deteriorating and assisted the capital, Lima, in rejuvenating the city. Thanks to her efforts, the city now draws in the highest amount of tourists in over a hundred years. Recently her husband of ninety-five years passed away, and she has spent her last remaining years in the company of her large and loving family. She leaves behind five children, sixteen grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren, eighteen great, great grandchildren, and two great, great, great, grandchildren. She remains very close with each and every one of them, and will forever be greatly loved, admired, and missed by her whole family.
