Biography

Veronika Zsilinszki was born on 4 February 1908 in Belgrade, Serbia (then Kingdom of Serbia). At a young age, she moved to Backa on the border between Serbia and Hungary. She had an unreported number of children with a man named Endre Egi, but they were never married.

Zsilinszki still did gardening work even as a centenarian. She said that her secret of a long life is “that you are not idle and always work”. Shortly after her 110th birthday, she was visited by the former Mayor of Baja, Robert Zsigo. At the age of 110, she lives with her daughter and granddaughter.

Veronika Zsilinszki currently lives in Bajaszentistvan, Bala, Hungary, at the age of 116 years, 52 days. She is the oldest known living person born in Serbia.
