101 - Rosa Saverschel - Wien, Austria - Headstones of Centenarians on Waymarking.com

While wandering through Meidling cemetery in Wien, I noticed a grave of Josef, Rosa, and Othmar Saverschel. Rosa was born in 1908 and passed away 101 years later in 2009. Unfortunately, I could not find any information about her on the Internet.
