BRAZILIAN WOMAN MARIANA PENNA MONTEIRO DIES AT 113
Mariana Penna Monteiro, a resident of Itatiba, São Paulo, Brazil, passed away today, at the age of 113 years, 166 days, according to her family.
Mariana Penna Monteiro was born in Arceburgo, Minas Gerais, on 2 September 1912. Her parents were Pedro de Souza Penna and Mariana Gonçalves Penna. She was born in Arceburgo, but spent most of her childhood and youth in Mococa, in the interior of São Paulo. She later studied in Itú and Campinas, attending the Normal School on Praça Carlos Gomes. After graduating, she began her career as a teacher, working in schools across small towns and on rural farms throughout São Paulo. Her journey stretched from Arceburgo, Minas Gerais, to numerous cities across São Paulo.
It was in Mirassol that she met Orlando Monteiro (1911–1987). They married in 1946 and had three children together: Maria Cristina, Maria Lúcia, and Orlando Monteiro Junior. In the years that followed, she returned to teaching, eventually retiring from the José Inocêncio da Costa School Group in Matão.

When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."
