She is the 43rd oldest person in Finnish history. Vieno Nurmilaukas, her successor, is the 56th, born on September 23, 1917 in South Karelia.
She was the oldest person in Finland since January 17, 2025 (about 172 days), the longest time since Helvi Kissala, who lived from January 13, 2023, to June 12, 2024 (1 year, 151 days). She was the oldest person to die in that position since Gunnel Stenback, who died on November 30, 2024, at the age of 110 years, 70 days. She is the 15th person from 110 Uusimaa to be the oldest person in Finland. Gunnel Stenback had been the last.
RIP
