BIOGRAPHY

Loriente Pérez was born in Agüero, Aragon, Spain, on 11 September 1911. She married railwayman Lorenzo Allué Rubiela and had a daughter, Ángeles Allué Loriente, who was 79 at the time of her mother’s 110th birthday. Loriente Pérez and her husband had to live apart from each other during the Spanish Civil War.

When she was widowed aged 61, Loriente Pérez moved in with her daughter and son-in-law. Aged 99, she moved into a care home in Zaragoza, Aragon. Since she was 103, she has suffered from dementia, but was reported to still be in good health, full of cheer and positivity. As a centenarian, she enjoyed sewing, cooking, and eating.

In December 2020, Loriente Pérez recovered from a bout of COVID-19, making her one of the oldest people to overcome the virus. As a supercentenarian, she has two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
