Longevity claimant

Anna Pavlovna Ragel [Belarusian: Ганна Паўлаўна Рагель] (4 July 1889? - 12 September 2010) was a Belarusian longevity claimant.

Biography

Anna Ragel claimed to have been born on 4 July 1889 in Belye, Maladzyechna District, Minsk Oblast, Russian Empire (now Belarus). She attributed her longevity to a good diet and hard work.

Ragel died in Molodechno, Minsk Oblast, Belarus on 12 September 2010, at the claimed age of 121 years, 70 days.

If her claimed age were true then at the time of her death, she would have been the oldest person in the world. She also would have been the second-oldest person ever behind Jeanne Calment and the last surviving person born in the 1880s as well as the only person born in the 1880s to live into the 2010s.
