Biography[]
Janosne Szentirmay was born in Sopron, Austria-Hungary (present-day Hungary) on 4 November 1899 as Terezia Kranixfeld. She was the last living person who voted in the 1921 Sopron plebiscite. She graduated as a teacher in 1923, and taught in several schools. She was said to be a very strict teacher who could handle the students with the worst behaviour.
Terézia married János Szentirmay, who died in 1941. They had one daughter (died in 1942) and one son (died in 2004). Terézia had one grandson and three great-grandchildren. She said her biggest wish was to see her great-grandchildren’s graduation.
Terézia retired in 1954, at the age of 55. As a pensioner, her favourite hobbies were gardening and reading. She was a devoted Catholic, going to church alone even at age 99. She lived independently until the age of 100.
She became the oldest living person in Hungary upon Lajosne Buzaky’s death in September 2007. Her health started to worsen in September 2008.
Janosne Szentirmay died in Sopron, Hungary on 30 January 2009 at the age of 109 years, 87 days.
