Gracia Allolouf, 110, oldest Jewish woman in Greece and one of the oldest in the country, died here today. She was regarded as a medical marvel by physicians, since she grew a complete set of new teeth in her last years.
She left instructions that there was to be no mourning at her funeral, but that all present were to sing and dance.
