104 -Margrethe Bech Thøgersen, Randers - Denmark - Headstones of Centenarians on Waymarking.com

På kristrup Kirkegård ligger Margrethe Bech Thøgersen begravet. Margrethe opnåede den imponerende alder af 104 år. Hun blev født d. 25. september 1901. Samme år som Nobelprisen uddeltes første gang og også året hvor Norge som det første land i Europa indførte valgret for kvinder. Danmark indførte først valgret for kvinder i 1915, hvor Margrethe var 14 år. En ret hun dog tidligst kunne udnytte i 1926. Dengang skulle man nemlig være 25 år for at kunne stemme ved folketingsvalg og hele 35 år for at kunne stemme til landstinget.
Da Margrethe døde i 2006 var valgretsalderen 18 år hvilket den har været siden 1978.

At Kristrup Cemetery Margrethe Bech Thøgersen is buried.
