Biography[]
Istvánné Mórocz was born as Zsuzsanna Virág in the village of Dég, Fejér County, Austria-Hungary (now Hungary), on 6 February 1890, as the third out of four children in the family.
In the village where she grew up, Zsuzsanna was famous for her beautiful voice and for the reason ‘she knew all songs by heart’. She married to István Mórocz at a young age, they had four children (Zsuzsanna outlived one of them). She was an agricultural worker in all her life. In 1962, she moved to Veresegyház with her son.
As a centenarian, she was alert and was in good physical condition. At her 102th birthday, she danced for hours. She would occasionally sing songs from her youth as well. She became the oldest living person in Hungary likely before her 106th birthday. In her last year, she had to move to a care home in Veresegyház. At age 108, she could still read without glasses and took no medication. At that time, she had seven grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, 23 great-great-grandchildren and one great-great-great-grandchild.
Istvánné Mórocz died due to heart failure, in Veresegyház, Pest County, Hungary, on 23 October 1998, at the age of 108 years, 259 days. Following her death, then 108-year-old Ferencné Lázár became the oldest known living person in Hungary.
