Biography
Anne Matthiesen was born Anne Cathrine Jensen on 26 November 1884 in Haderslev, Syddanmark, Denmark (which was then Hadersleben, Prussia, German Empire).
Anne Matthiesen died in Vejle, Syddanmark, Denmark on 19 March 1996 at the age of 111 years, 114 days. Her record has yet to be officially broken, the closest being Karen Jespersen (1889–2000), who fell 24 days short, dying aged 111 years, 91 days, however Ellen Brandenborg (1906–2017) and Karla Lindholm Jensen (1908–2020) have surpassed her, but have not yet been GRG validated.
