Isabel Barletta (1911-2025)
The Gerontology Research Group is saddened to learn of the passing of Isabel Barletta of Argentina.
News was recently shared via social media that she had passed away – confirmed as May 12 2025, aged 113 years, 242 days.
Isabel was born on September 12 1911 in Flores, Buenos Aires, Argentina – the same town in which she was to pass 113 years later. She credited ‘respecting others, helping those in need and appreciating nature’ as her recipe for a long life. Longevity also seems to run in her family – a sister died in 2018 at 104 years of age.
