Belgian Woman Elisabeth Vermont Turns 110
Elisabeth Vermont, a resident of Dadizele, Moorslede, West Flanders, Belgium, is celebrating her 110th birthday today.
Elisabeth Vermont was born in Moorslede, West Flanders, on 12 October 1916. As the youngest of thirteen children, Elisabeth grew up in a large family. In 1917, her family was forced to flee Dadizele and found shelter in Balen. They returned home in 1919. At the age of sixteen, Elisabeth began working at ‘t Fabriekske in Ledegem, where she met her future husband, Antoon Messely. The couple married in 1940 and had three children together: Rika, Lena, and Willy. Antoon passed away in 1982.
Elisabeth continued to live on Sint-Sebastiaanlaan in Dadizele until the age of 104. In 2021, she moved into a residential care center.
She currently has nine grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and several great-great-grandchildren. At the moment, she is the second-oldest living person in Belgium, after Jeanne Vandenplas.
