Austrian Woman Dies at 111
Why this is here: At 90 years old, Anna Wagner boarded a plane for the first time to travel to Lourdes.
Anna Wagner died peacefully at home in Euratsfeld, Austria, on Tuesday. The mayor of Euratsfeld, Johann Weingartner, notes she lived at home until the end. Wagner grew up on a farm and worked as a farmer her entire life, remaining in her home community.
After retiring, Wagner enjoyed travel and first flew on a plane at age 90 to visit Lourdes. She was also the oldest member of the Austrian People’s Party. The local music band traditionally played a serenade for her each birthday.
Wagner received care from her family at home. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner described her as an extraordinary woman who lived through two world wars. The article does not state Wagner had any surviving family members or the cause of her death.
