Janosne Ando (née Julianna Fejos) [Hungarian: Andó Jánosné Fejős Julianna] (10 December 1886 – 25 September 1994) was a Serbian-born Hungarian centenarian who was the oldest known living person in Hungary at the time of her death.
Biography[]
Jánosné Andó was born as Julianna Fejős in Magyarkanizsa, Austria-Hungary (present-day Kanjiža, North Banat District, Serbia), on 10 December 1886. She was one of many siblings, therefore she was given to her aunt from her mother. She had hard times there, as her stepfather was an alcoholic and her stepmother forced her to do all the household chores.
The hardships ended when Julianna married to János Andó, who worked at the Hungarian State Railways. Together, they travelled a lot and visited many places across the country. In 1918, when the Serbians occupied her birth town, they moved to János’ parents in Salgótarján, where they lived in the kitchen. They moved to Hatvan in 1932, but János died a few years later. She had three children. Her son disappeared in WWII, she lost contact with one of his daughters because she did not get along with her son-in-law, and her other daughter, whom she lived with, died when she was 100.
After her daughter’s death, she moved to a care home in Hatvan. She was in exceptional mental condition as a centenarian, but she did not like to talk about the past, and she also became almost blind.
On 5 February 1993, following the death of 108-year-old Istvánné Ládi, she became the oldest known living person in Hungary. She was the oldest voter during the 1994 Hungarian parliamentary election.
Jánosné Andó died in Hatvan, Heves County, Hungary, on 25 September 1994, at the age of 107 years, 289 days. Following her death, then 106-year-old Antalné Banga became the oldest known living person in Hungary.
