Biography[]
Istvánné Fejes was born as Erzsébet Soltész in Baia Mare, Maramureș County, Austria-Hungary (now Romania), on 15 February 1911. Her parents were Elemer Soltész (1874–1957), a bishop and fellow in protestant Theology, and Róza Zsigmond (1877–?). She had four siblings: Elemer (1901–1920) Judit (1902–?), Marta (1904–?), and Janos (1916–?). After graduating from the National Music School and the Academy of Music, she became a distinguished pianist and piano teacher.
In 1923, she moved to Budapest with her family, and pursued a career in music. She married Istvan Fejes around 1947 and they had at least two daughters. She worked as a piano teacher for decades and toured in Mátra even in her 60s. At the age of 85, she traveled to the United States to visit her daughter and grandchild.
In her later life, she moved to Szeged, where her daughter and son-in-law lived. She spent some time going to church, going to the hairdresser, and eating ice cream.
On 15 February 2021, she celebrated her 110th birthday, becoming a supercentenarian.
On 20 April 2021, following the death of 113-year-old Veronika Zsilinszki, she became the oldest known living person in Hungary.
Istvánné Fejes died in Szeged, Csongrád-Csanád County, Hungary, on 17 December 2022, at the age 111 years, 305 days. Following her death, then 108-year-old Árpádné Juhász became the oldest known living person in Hungary.
