Australia's OLP title has lately stagnated at age 111, with the last six supercentenarians to hold that title passing away at that age

This number increases to seven with the discovery of Olga Abate's death at the age of 111.

The italian team solved Abate's case: Olga Domenica Creosina vid. Abate was verified as born on 20 May 1913 in San Lorenzo, Reggio Calabria, Calabria Region, Italy and passed away on 5 June 2024 in Melbourne, Australia, aged 111 years and 16 days. She really was the Doyenne of Australia at the time of her death. She will be validated, hopefully, by ESO and LQ.

Topic updated.

That is fantastic news Ale.

Do you need more documentation at this stage?

@chrisr I have sent you an e-mail 🙂

With the ESO validation of Olga Abate this gives the 5 SC's from the class of 1913 full validation.

The other two years where there have been 5 ( 1901-1906) still have one outstanding each.

Lillian Hall passed away on 15 July 2024, aged 109

@filipe93 Is Dorothy Vine the oldest known person born in Fiji? I haven't looked particularly hard, but I haven't found anyone older
