LongeviQuest is pleased to announce the age validation of Veronica Forstner of the United States at age 110. She was born in Sigel Township, Brown County, Minnesota, on 3 May 1905. She was a sister, a wife, and a mother to 6 children.
Despite facing surgeries for kidney stones, a hysterectomy, and even her gallbladder and cataracts, Forstner lived to 110. She stayed active, enjoying the newspaper, Minnesota Twins games, and church services. Though her hearing declined, she resisted hearing aids. As for her longevity secret, she simply said, “I just live,” though another interview mentioned plenty of sleep as a factor.
