Soledad Community Health Care District to Celebrates Remarkable Resident's 105th Birthday on January 26!

 

SOLEDAD, Calif.— Soledad Community Health Care District (SCHCD) is delighted to

announce the celebration of a momentous milestone in the life of one of our cherished residents,

Ms. Jeannie Aquino, who is turning 105 years old.

Jeannie Aquino, a lifelong resident of the City of Soledad, has been an integral part of the

community since her early years. Originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, she arrived in Soledad

with her family as a baby. Over the decades, Ms. Aquino has contributed significantly to the

fabric of the Soledad community, working in the central coast fields, teaching catechism at Our Lady of

Solitude Church, and becoming a beloved figure among residents.

Currently residing at the Eden Valley Care Center, Ms. Aquino has been a pillar of strength and

inspiration. The Soledad Community Health Care District is thrilled to celebrate her remarkable journey on Friday, January 26, 2024, just before her actual birthday on January 27. The celebration will take place at the Eden Valley Skilled Nursing Facility from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM.

"Soledad Community Health Care District is honored to celebrate the incredible life of Ms.

Jeannie Aquino on her 105th birthday," said SCHCD CEO Ida Lopez Chan. "Her enduring

dedication to our community exemplifies the spirit of resilience and connection we cherish.

Through this celebration, we emphasize our commitment to community engagement and the

well-being of our residents. Ms. Aquino's story is a testament to the rich tapestry of Soledad, and

we are privileged to share in this milestone with her and our community."

Ms. Aquino's commitment to the community reaches beyond personal milestones. A proud

mother of 6 children—David, Peter, Joey, Felisa, Sol, and Sharon—her family legacy is

interwoven with Soledad's rich history. Her children, familiar with uncles Frank Ledesma and

Joe Ledesma, and cousin Fred Ledesma, all former mayors, continue the family's civic

contributions.

"Until this day, I don't recall my aunt, Jeannie, not taking care of our family; she is the matriarch

of our family," said former Soledad mayor, Fred Ledesma. "There are people who are nice and

not so nice, but my aunt Jeannie is always kind and positive. She knows how to treat people."

For those interested in joining us to celebrate this remarkable milestone, please contact Adriana

Gonzalez, Communications Coordinator, at 831-678-6033 or adgonzalez@schcd.com.

SCHCD extends an open invitation to the community to join us in honoring Jeannie Aquino and

celebrating her 105 years of life, wisdom, and community spirit.
