Maria Branyas: Ältester Mensch Gestorben
Maria Branyas, recognized as the ältester Mensch der Welt, died at the age of 117 in Spain. Her family shared the sad news on the social media platform X, stating, “Maria Branyas has left us, passing away peacefully in her sleep, just as she wished.”
Life of a Centenarian
- Born on March 4, 1907, in San Francisco.
- Returned to Spain during her childhood.
- Resided in a nursing home in Olot, Catalonia at the time of death.
After the passing of the French nun Lucile Randon last year at age 118, the Gerontological Research Group (GRG) declared Branyas the älteste Person der Welt. This organization verifies the ages of so-called Supercentenarians, individuals aged 110 and older.
Branyas was known for her lively personality and famously said, “I am old, but not a fool.” Her account on X, Super Àvia Catalana, echoed her spirit with statements of her age and humor.
