              HONORING THE MEMORY OF JUANA SEQUEIRA SOLIS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIMMY GOMEZ

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 21, 2021

  Mr. GOMEZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Juana Sequeira 
Solis who passed away on April 6, 2021 at the age of 94. She was born 
in 1926 in Nicaragua and was the eldest of five children.
  In 1945, at the age of 18, she immigrated to the United States in 
search of a better life. In 1950, she moved to Los Angeles where she 
met her late husband, Raul S. Solis, while taking citizenship classes. 
The couple then married in October of 1953.
  Mrs. Solis and her late husband raised seven children in the 
unincorporated area of La Puente, California.
  She enjoyed cooking for her family and friends and was an avid 
gardener. The family was her focal point where she taught her children 
to give back to their community; stressed the importance of achieving a 
higher education; and preserving the environment.
  Mrs. Solis was a devout Roman Catholic.
  Mrs. Solis worked hard to provide for her children and was employed 
for over 20 years as an assembly line worker at Mattel Inc. until her 
retirement in 1991. She was an active union member with the United 
Rubber Workers.
  Mrs. Solis is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, 
Raul S. Solis, who was a proud Teamster and her beloved daughter, 
Beatriz M. Solis, who served as the Director for Healthy Communities at 
the California Endowment.
  She is survived by her children: Irma Rincon, Raul Solis, Jr., Hilda 
Solis, Victor Solis, Anna Solis, Leticia Solis and their spouses; 10 
grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren.
  She will be remembered for her kindness and fighting spirit. She will 
be deeply missed by all who knew her.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that Members in the House Chamber please join me 
for a moment of silence to honor the life of Juana Sequeira Solis.
