Graciela Quintero, one of the oldest documented living residents of Colombia, celebrated her 110th birthday at her home in Medellín on August 22nd.
Quintero was born in Sonsón, Antioquia Department, Colombia, on 22 August 1914. She was the youngest of five siblings, having two brothers and two sisters.
In 1940, she got married and went on to have four children. She began her career as a trader but eventually transitioned into a real estate consultant. In addition to her professional life, she actively participated in games and sports clubs. Her passion for travel took her to Europe, and she visited the United States more than 10 times. Her last trip to the United States occurred when she was 95 years old.
Her eldest daughter describes her personality as positive, intelligent, and generous. Despite her training as an educator, she never pursued a career in that field. She enjoys reciting poems and singing.
We at LongeviQuest congratulate Mrs. Quintero on her 110th birthday and celebrate her extraordinary life and the inspiration she brings to us all.
