I really thought she could be the Swedish longevity record holder next April. Unfortunately it won't happen.
Rest in peace, Agnes Boström (1912-2024) 🕊

Agnes was one of my favourite supercentenarians. She'll be missed greatly.
Rest in peace, Agnes Boström.

She is the 4th oldest person in the history of the Nordic countries, succeeding her in the position of oldest person in this region is the Danish Kirsten Schwalbe born on 10 March 1914 and 32nd oldest person in the history of this region. Agnes remained 31 days in the position of oldest living person in the Nordic countries, the shortest time since the Danish Andrea Pedersen (25 May 1977-11 Jun 1977 = 17 days), she is the oldest since Karla Lindholm Jensen (DIN, 1908-2020) who died at 112 years, 217 days, she was the 25th Swedish person to hold this position, the second in a row. She was the 43rd oldest living person, the 14th oldest living European person, the 730th oldest person in history, the 2nd oldest person in Swedish history, Sweden now has no one 110+ alive. She spent 31 days as Sweden's oldest person, the shortest time since Anna Persson (22 days between 3 July 1978-25 July 1978). She is the oldest person in Sweden since Astrid Zachrison who died at 113 in 2008. She is the 2nd person from Västernorrland to hold this title, since 1958 she had not held this position, when Per Sjoedin held it between 8 May 1957 and 13 January 1958. She is the 4th oldest person since 1912 to die.
