Overview

• Eunice Anício da Silveira was born in Joanésia, Minas Gerais on October 21, 1915 and reached age 111 on October 21, 2026, a milestone recorded by multiple news outlets.
• Her age was checked by Brazilian researchers Iara Souza and Gabriel Ainsworth and formally validated by the longevity registry LongeviQuest in January 2025, with family figures updated in October 2026.
• LongeviQuest reported that Eunice has 15 children, about 50 grandchildren, 88 great-grandchildren and 52 great-great-grandchildren, creating a five-generation family who celebrated her birthday together.
• Family accounts and recent coverage say she has no serious chronic diagnoses and does not take continuous daily medication, details presented as personal testimony rather than medical proof.
• Eunice credits long life to a rural routine of early sleep, early rising, hard work, drinking milk and eating home-grown food, and journalists note these are anecdotal correlates not established causes of extreme longevity.
