BIOGRAPHY
Eugénie Peyrieux was born in the commune of La Chapelle-de-la-Tour in the Isère department in southeastern France, on 1 December 1903.
She spent her youth in her birthplace and worked as a factory weaver in La Tour-du-Pin. During the years 1914–1918, she watched her brothers leave for war, while her sisters lost their fiancés to it. In 1926, she married Paul Peyrieux, and together they had two daughters, Suzanne and Odette. Because Suzanne was in fragile health, a doctor advised the family to leave the city; they moved to Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or shortly before the Second World War. Her husband, an employee of EDF, retired in 1955, and in 1963 the couple settled in Charly. He passed away in 1992 at the age of 91, and Suzanne passed away in 2001.
In June 2009, at the age of 105, Eugénie left her home in Charly to enter the Saint-François-de-Sales retirement home in Vernaison. At the age of 110, Eugénie was surrounded by three grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and, by October 2013, a great-great-granddaughter.
Eugénie Peyrieux passed away in the commune of Vernaison in the Metropolis of Lyon in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in eastern France, on 4 May 2015, at the age of 111 years, 154 days.
