Biography[]

Ilka Zolnai was born in Austria-Hungary (present-day Hungary) on 3 October 1889. She worked as a housewife in all her life, and never got married. She moved to a care home at the age of 100. On her 105th birthday, she was visited by the Mayor of Budapest.

Ilka likely became the oldest known living person in Hungary upon Janosne Kemeny’s death on 18 November 1995. However, she was last reported to be alive on 3 October 1995, her 106th birthday. Although her date of death is unknown, she presumably died before February 1996, when Istvanne Morocz was reported to be the Hungarian doyenne.
