Recognition

At the time of death, the media reported her as the second-oldest living person in Mexico, after Antonia Valderrama Ocampo. The validation process concluded how Valderrama Ocampo was actually born in 1907, not 1905 like claimed, meaning León Ramírez was actually older than her.

Her age was verified by Stefan Maglov, and validated by the LAS on 1 May 2022, becoming the first validated supercentenarian from the Mexican state of Tlaxcala.
