Biography[]
Dromard was born in Cusset, Allier, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, on 1 August 1909. She married Raoul Dromard on 27 April 1929. They had two daughters, both born on 30 November; Genevieve (born 1930), who lived in Cusset in 2017, and Yvette (born 1932) who lived in Noiretable in 2017.
During her life, she traveled a lot with her friends in the outings organized by the "Association Voyages Loisirs et culture" (VLC) and participated in the local community life. Her husband died in 1976. At the age of 102, due to the lack of a lift in a building where she lived, and because her 80-year-old daughter was injured and unable to help her, she had to move to the retirement home in Cusset. She has been a resident of it since 12 May 2011.
Dromard died in Cusset, Allier, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France on 2 October 2020 at the age of 111 years, 62 days.
