You know how we humans seems to be hooked on world records. Well, EITb brings to us a note regarding the departure of a lady that apparently held the age record in Euskal Herria, here you have it:
*Note: I actually fixed a couple of errors from the original note.Basque Country
The “Grandmother” of the Basque Country dies
09/13/2007
Plazida Insausti from Beasain would have 111 years next 5th of October. Though she said she was healthy throughout her all life, she died because of a cold.
She is the oldest person of Garin, Beasain, Goierri, Gipuzkoa and the whole Basque Country. Pazida Insausti died at the age of 110, due to a cold she caught 10 days ago.
Next month, the 5th of October, the “grandmother” of the Basque Country would have 111 years. Born in a neighbourhood of Beasain called Garin, she has always lived there. She became famous for being the oldest person in the Basque Country.
However, people around her won’t remember her for that reason. Her neighbours and friends will remember her because although the age, she was healthy mentally and physically.
She was born in the 19th century, she lived through the whole 20th century and she died in the 21th century due to a cold she caught the previous week.
