Oh no... This is a terrible loss. I've probably known about Dagny for 5+ years, and I never thought she would reach an age this high, but I find it very sorrowful she passed away such close to her 110th birthday.
Rest in peace, Dagny Carlsson.

RIP 😢
Very sad news I hoped that she could become a supercentenarian.
However she went so far, I remember articles about her many years before, I think that there was even an article about her in an english textbook.

Such sad news. I really expected her to make it to 110, since in the most recent video I saw of her (from December 2021), she still seemed very strong:
I knew logically that she was very old, yet she gave off such a strong and youthful aura, to the point where I just couldn't imagine her dying, even despite her already extreme age. You could just tell how passionate she was about life in general, always eager to experience new things.
As many of you might know, she had a friend named Amie Sundstrom (1910-2020) who was similarly in extremely good shape for her age, being able to walk around her apartment completely unaided on her 109th birthday, yet she died just a few months later, so now both women fell short of what I imagine their full potential was. You can see a few short clips of the two of them together in this video:
Rest in peace, Dagny Carlsson.
