104-year-old woman Dorothy Hoffner dies just a week after record skydive

A 104-year-old Chicago woman, Dorothy Hoffner, whose recent skydive could see her certified by Guinness World Records as the oldest person to ever jump from a plane, apparently died on Sunday. According to Joe Conant, Hoffner’s close friend, she was found dead on Monday morning by staff at the Brookdale Lake View senior living community. Conant said Hoffner apparently died in her sleep on Sunday night. Conant, who is a nurse, said he met Hoffner — whom he called Grandma at her request — several years ago while he was working as a caregiver for another resident at the senior living centre. He said she had amazing energy and remained mentally sharp. “She was indefatigable. She just kept going,” he said Tuesday.
