LQ has now made an article on her passing

Mrs. Alvarado was the oldest pending or validated woman from Venezuela ever

She also died on the same day that JVPM entered the top five

 

If Mrs Alverado becomes verified, it would appear that she and Juan Vicente Perez Mora (the Doyenne and Doyen of Venezuela) would have had a combined age of 226-323 on 12 December 2023 and could have been in second place globally.

It appears Japan held the record at 228-267 when Fusa Tatsumi also died that day and retained the oldest couple title with a combined age of 227-239 for Tomiko Itooka and Gisaburo Sonobe, following.

It appears the top 3 for verified cases on 12 December would otherwise have been rounded out by the UK at 225-220 (Caterham/Tinniswood) and France (Tessier/Ludwig) at 225-27.

But if the pending case of Fransisca Mangonez Martinez of Colombia was verified, then her age, combined with that of Efrian Rios Garcia would have been 227-47 - hence Colombia would have been second.

Juan Vicente Perez Mora died

The oldest person in Venezuela now is Ramona Casamayor de Medina born on April 19, 1910, living in Piritu, Portuguese, the oldest man I couldn't find, does anyone know?

Documented: Pedro Maria Molina, born on 27 April 1915.

Almost eight years... crazy.

I wonder how old the doyen of Juan's town is now. Probably dropped by at least a decade

 

There’s no official public stats for most of countries in Latin America. We don’t know who’s the oldest, but I’m talking about the oldest, that we discovered so far, and documented as well. There may be an older man, or maybe not. We don’t know. 

The oldest person in Venezuela was Juana Urbina Franchi, born on October 31, 1914. Unfortunately, she passed away on May 1, 2024, at the age of 109 years and 183 days. She was the oldest person since April 2, 2024, having been the dean of Venezuela for 29 days. This was the shortest time since Jose Gregorio Brito Riera, who was the oldest person in the country from October 3, 2015 to October 4, 2015 (1 day). He was the predecessor of Juan Vicente Perez Mora and died at the age of 107 years and 148 days, younger than Juana. Juana was the first person from Miranda to be considered the oldest in Venezuela. Ramona was not the oldest in Venezuela at the time. It was discovered that she was born in 1920. A curiosity about Venezuela is that of the 7 people considered the oldest alive since reliable data has been available (2013), 5 were men. Now she is the oldest woman in Venezuela. unknown, does anyone have any information?

Carmen Burguera Dávila was born on 12 June 1916 in Tovar, Mérida, Venezuela.

She completed her early education at the Colegio La Presentación de Tovar and later continued her studies at La Presentación in Pamplona, Colombia. In addition to her primary academic studies, she received training in music, theater, and sports.

She particularly excelled in volleyball and in playing the violin. Together with her sister Cristina, who played the piano, she formed the musical duo known as the Hermanas Burguera.

In July 1939, she married Elis Enrique León Salas in Tovar, and together they had seven children, whom would later give her 24 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren and four great great-grandchildren (as of May 2023). Due to work-related circumstances, the family later moved to San Cristóbal, where two more children were born. In 1958, the family settled in Mérida, where their youngest daughter was born.

Burguera Dávila has always had a deep religious faith, affection for her family, and strong moral values. These qualities have earned her recognition as a woman of tradition and distinction in Mérida. She also enjoys traditional Venezuelan sweets and occasionally sings popular songs from her youth during family gatherings.

She currently lives in Mérida, Mérida, Venezuela, surrounded by the care and companionship of her children.

Her age was validated by LongeviQuest on 14 March 2026.

Juan Mijares Camargo was born on 28 June 1915 (claims 29 March 1915), in Guaicaipuro, Miranda, Venezuela. His parents were Gerónimo Mijares and Juana Camargo, both originally from Miranda state.

From a young age, he had to work to help support his family, starting with simple jobs like selling arepas. Over the years, his life was marked by a great capacity for adaptation, working in a variety of jobs: warehouse employee, pharmacy assistant, assistant in a law firm, jewelry salesman, and entrepreneur in the production of homemade remedies.

At the age of 23, he married Carmen Juanita Blanco on 25 February 1939 and together they had 15 children. During a difficult economic period, his friend Cristóbal Pacheco advised him to train at the Metropolitan Circus, where he had his first fight. He stepped into the ring and won. His wife passed away on 21 January 2008.

Despite lacking extensive formal education, Mijares developed his knowledge through self-study. This approach led him to become a teacher, sharing what he had learned throughout his life. Simultaneously, he excelled as a physical education and boxing instructor, a discipline that profoundly influenced his lifestyle and longevity.

His commitment to society led him to actively participate in his community, where he founded neighborhood and cultural centers in Caracas, establishing himself as a respected community leader.

When asked about his secret to a long life, he attributed it to consistent physical exercise, a balanced diet, and healthy habits, avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol. Throughout his life, he maintained that work should be done with honor rather than for money, and he championed the importance of curiosity and continuous learning.

He currently lives in Caracas, Venezuela.

His age was validated by LongeviQuest on 28 March 2026.
