The second-oldest (documented) living person in Argentina, Angélica Tiscornia, celebrated her 112th birthday in Buenos Aires on August 22nd.
Tiscornia was born in Gualeguay, Entre Ríos Province, Argentina, on 22 August 1912. She had six siblings, all of whom she outlived. At some point, she got married and went on to have a daughter named Marta. She outlived her only daughter, who passed away due to heart problems. In 1973, she moved to the city of Buenos Aires.
At some point, she moved into a nursing home. Following her daughter’s passing, her closest living relative became her nephew, who was 80 years old as of 2021. In mid-May 2020, she was hospitalized for COVID-19. Despite her dislike for medical treatment, she simply said, “I still have enough time to be here.” Two weeks later, she returned to the nursing home.
At the moment, she is the second-oldest (known and documented) living person in Argentina, after Isabel Barletta.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. Tiscornia on her 112th birthday. We would also like to extend our gratitude to her family for sharing photos from the celebration.
