Dollie Grissam

Dollie Louise Grissam (February 24, 1941 — August 10, 2016) is an American woman from Oklahoma, United States, who is claimed by the nursing home where she lived to be the oldest person in the world to have lived with Down Syndrome, since people who are diagnosed with the condition have a life expectancy of up to 60 years.
Personal life
Grissam was the second oldest of nine children, and lived in Rush Springs, Oklahoma with her family until July 1969, when she was put into a nursing care centre in Chickasha, due to her parents falling severely ill. She remained at the care unit until her death in August 2016.
