Is she alive[edit]

The one source was created in 2004 with photos added in July 2011. I have seen no evidence more recent than that that she is alive, and the adding of photos to the page on her does not clearly indicate she was alive then. My search for information on her death failed, but someone may want to search German-language sources for more information.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:29, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnpacklambert:, good question. I've moved her to the Possibly Living People category as I can see nothing on her after the point at which she would have turned 90. I've found some flight records on Ancestry. Her full bio stats: Gisela Agnes Litz-Finkemeyer, born 14 Dec 1922 in Hamburg, so the basic info in the Wiki article is correct. Finkemeyer is presumably her married surname. Here is a photo of her from 2007 under that name. Looked pretty healthy at 85. Seems she was also a scholar. Can't find anything more recent. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 19:55, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gordon B. Hinckley was extremely health at 85, and very well traveled well into his 90s, but he was dead before he turned 98. So being healthy at 85 does not show that someone is alive at 99.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnpacklambert:, Yes thank you for that. I, obviously, did not mean that it was indicative of her still being alive. Rather, I meant that it slightly strengthens the possibility of her still being alive. --Jkaharper (talk) 00:13, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of her in September 2015 aged 92. --Jkaharper (talk) 02:13, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
