On Oct. 1, Dorothy Hoffner made a tandem skydive at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois, that could land her a world record.
Dorothy Hoffner, a 104-year-old Chicago woman whose recent skydive could see her certified by Guinness World Records as the oldest person to ever jump from a plane, has died.
"She was indefatigable. She just kept going," he said Tuesday."She was not someone who would take naps in the afternoon, or not show up for any function, dinner or anything else. She was always there, fully present. She kept going, always." Conant said Hoffner didn't skydive to break a record. He said she had so thoroughly enjoyed her first jump that she just wanted to do it again.
