Ms Jones took the title of the world's oldest living person from Jeralean Talley who died, just 26 days after her 116th birthday at her home in Inkster, a Detroit suburb, on June 17.
Asked for the secret of her longevity, Ms Jones said "sleep!" While she has lost her eyesight and is hard of hearing, Ms Jones is not bed-bound and only takes two medications a day.
