Biography[]
Rosa Zoila Higuera Velandia claimed to have been born in Jerico, Boyaca, Colombia on 23 August 1906. In August 2019, a large party in El Zulia was held to celebrate her claimed 113th birthday.
Rosa Zoila Higuera Velandia was last reported to be alive on 9 March 2023 when she lived in El Zulia, Norte de Santander, Colombia at the claimed age of 116 years, 198 days. If her claimed age were validated, she would have been the oldest living person in Colombia, being older than Alfonso Maria Rojas Perdomo – the documented titleholder, and the oldest living person in the world from the death of Lucile Randon on 17 January 2023.
Age Issues[]
Some members of The 110 Club discovered that Higuera Velandia's youngest children were born in the 1960s, meaning that she would've been in her late 50s when they were born.
