BIOGRAPHY

Lindberg was born as Lillian Elizabeth Ang on 24 November 1899. She married Gray Harry Lindberg on 2 June 1923 and had at least one daughter, Naomi, who died in 1936 at the age of 12.

In 2001, Lindberg was widowed after 78 years of marriage. Her husband lived to be a centenarian himself, reaching the age of 101.

Lindberg died in Saronville, Nebraska on 7 December 2009 at the age of 110 years, 13 days.

RECOGNITION

It is believed that Lindberg became Nebraska’s oldest resident following the passing of 110-year-old Abeline Spiehs on 24 November 2008, coincidentally gaining the title on her 109th birthday. Upon her own death, the title likely passed to Leona Gleed, 109.

Lindberg’s age was verified by Jimmy Lindberg and Stefan Maglov, and was validated by LongeviQuest on 3 June 2024.
