Biography[]

Aida Carmen Gandine Dodera was born in Montevideo, Uruguay on 4 May 1910. Her parents were Jose Gandine and Carmen Dodera. She had one twin sister named Elida Josefa, and two brothers Luis (born 1911) and Hector (born 1912).

In her youth, she was a neighbor of the biologist Clemente Estable.

Teresita was the first RH daughter in the country (a protein integrated in red blood cells or erythrocytes and through her determination the blood type is detected). Between her first and second daughter, she lost five pregnancies (including Nelson Raul).

She became the oldest known (documented) living person in Uruguay, following the death of 109-year-old Rosalia Aguilar on 2 February 2019.
