A woman who is recovering from a liver transplant not only has a new lifesaving organ, but one that made history.

That's thanks to Cecil Lockhart from Welch, West Virginia, who died at age 95 on May 4, making him the oldest organ donor in United States history, according the Center for Organ Recovery & Education, which coordinated the recovery of the liver.The previous record for the oldest donor was a 93-year-old, according to press release from the United Network for Organ Sharing.

A CORE spokeswoman told CNN that while Lockhart was not registered as an organ donor, he was able to donate his liver because he had discussed his wishes with his family. While expressing the desire to donate organs with family allows someone to donate, CORE encourages people to register as a donor to ensure they are able to make that impact.You can do this by filling out a simple registration form, which asks for basic contact information and the last four digits of your social security number.
