Her husband was 7’9” himself and he lived to 81! That’s amazing for someone that size. She unfortunately died earlier in her 40’s.
Lady Dimitriescu’s baby.
And only lived for 11 hours :(
By some definitions, yes, but only because it took 85 years to finish the delivery.

From her husband’s wiki page:
In 1889 he remarried, this time to a woman of typical stature, Annette LaVonne Weatherby,[7] and lived a mostly peaceful life until his death in 1919 of nephritis.[8][9] He was buried beside his first wife and their son in Seville.[10] He is one of the tallest known people to live to at least 80 years.
I’m always curious about how those conversations go, mostly because my dad kept my mom’s name when he married my stepmom and that’s gotta be weird.
I had a similar thing happen. Grandma is buried next to her first (abusive) husband simply because the plots were already paid for.
