In 2021, Cecil F. Lockhart became the oldest organ donor in U.S. history. His liver was recovered and transplanted to a woman in her 60s. “He was a generous person when he was alive, and we are filled with pride and hope knowing that, even after a long, happy life, he is able to continue that legacy of generosity,” Cecil’s daughter, Sharon White said.
