BIOGRAPHY

Felipe Hilario Juzgado Herranz was born in Chozas de Canales, Province of Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, on 11 April 1911. His family grew fruits and vegetables in a garden outside their house, which they would sell in Madrid. They traveled to the capital with their wagons and mules, and they would usually stay to sleep in the city before returning home the next day.

At some point, he married Cristeta Sanchez, with whom he had two children: José Luís and Isabel. The family moved to Madrid, where he would work in construction, often repairing and refurbishing old convents, earning the respect and adoration from local nuns, who benefited greatly from his work.

At the age of 67, he retired. Two years later, in 1980, the couple returned to their native Chozas de Canales. His wife passed away in 1998. Following her death, he was hospitalized for a week with a gastric ulcer, which doctors attributed to the stress of losing her. He had five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

One of his brothers lived to be 99, and two of his sisters died at 102 and 105 respectively.

Until the age of 109, he was very lucid and physically independent.

Juzgado Herranz passed away in Chozas de Canales, Province of Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain on 26 April 2021, at the age of 110 years, 15 days.
