Mrs. Chaia Vision, 110 years old, said to be the oldest person in Chicago died at the Orthodox Jewish Home for the Aged here.
As she lay on her death bed, Mrs. Vision repeated what she had often said: “I am ready to die. I have lived. Eighty years is enough for anybody–and I have had a hundred and ten.”
Mrs. Vision has lived in the Home for the Aged for sixteen years. She had taught the “younger” women at the home a philosophy of contentment, one that said, “Eighty years are enough.”
She is survived by three sons, Abraham, Daniel and Solomon, all old men; twenty-seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren, and ten great-great-grand-children. Burial was in Waldheim cemetery.
