Louise Levy, the oldest living resident of New York State, breathed her last at the age of 112 in Greenwich, Connecticut. She was a vital participant in a groundbreaking genetic study focused on long-living Ashkenazi Jews. The study, initiated in 1998, aimed to decipher the genetic secrets behind their exceptional physical and cognitive health during their twilight years. Louise’s life story exuded positivity and kindness, even as she lived through two global pandemics. Her longevity was attributed to her low-cholesterol diet and a daily glass of red wine. Louise leaves behind a loving family, and her remarkable journey continues to inspire countless others.
