Biography[]

Lajosne Buzaky was born in Bihardancsháza, Austria-Hungary (present-day Hungary) on 2 May 1898 as Margit Harangi. She got married to Lajos Rezső Buzáky in the early 1920s and moved to the city of Debrecen after the wedding. She worked as a housewife in all her life. She had to suffer tragedies during her lifetime, although she herself was seldom sick. Her husband died in Austria during WWII.

At age 100, it was reported that although Margit’s hearing and eyesight had got worse, she was mentally still very healthy. She would listen to the radio and lot and help in easy kitchen tasks. On her 108th birthday it was stated that she still had a good sense of humour and a great appetite. She did not take any medicine, and would sing psalms every evening with her daughter, whom she was living with. She had two daughters, one grandchild and two great-grandsons.

She became the oldest known living person in Hungary, following the death of 108-year-old Gergely András Molnár on 22 March 2006.

Lajosne Buzaky died in Debrecen, Hajdú-Bihar, Hungary on 11 September 2007 at the age of 109 years, 132 days.
