The Brazilian in the Guinness Book of Records among the tallest women in the world had reached a height of 2.25 meters as a young woman, but, over the years, the woman had shrunk, after the incredible growth period of her late adolescence . She had recently been suffering from health problems, which had affected her mobility. In an interview with the Infonet Portal in February 2020, she recalled her story and, above all, the period of national fame, when she was discovered, first, as the tallest woman in Brazil and, then, in the world .
The mayor of her city, Aracaju, Edvaldo Nogueira, expressed his condolences at the death of the “queen of heights”, as Feliciana was affectionately known. “I remember the first time I saw Maria Feliciana,” the mayor recalled in a note, “I was still a child. I was in Pão de Açúcar, where I was born. Her presence aroused great interest.”
Who is the tallest woman in the world today?
The tallest living woman in the world is currently Turkey’s Rumeysa Gelgi, at 2.15 metres. A record, however, far from that achieved by Maria Feliciana.
