Leonor López Herrera, a resident of Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico, celebrated her 110th birthday on 3 August, five days before than her actual birthday, as confirmed by her family.
Her granddaughter told LongeviQuest that “Leonor is very stable. She is still doing her daily routine of personal hygiene, eating three meals a day, listening to mass on TV, sleeping in the living room during the day, and sleeping in her bed as soon as it gets dark. Her walking is much slower, using a cane. She complains that her feet don’t help her walk well.”
López Herrera was born in Santiago Ixcuintla, Nayarit, Mexico, on 8 August 1915 as the third child to parents Cipriano López, a blacksmith who was known for his skill in the art of forging iron, making horseshoes and pistols with cattle horn grips, and Petra Herrera, a housewife.
López Herrera completed her studies through third grade and attended a dressmaking academy. There she learned the seamstress’s trade, gaining skills in tailoring, which were highly valued at the time. She also regularly attended various craft workshops at the Santa Teresita Sunday School in Tepic, Nayarit, between 1970 and 2000. She also informally attended weaving classes in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, at craft stores such as La Perlita.
LongeviQuest extends warm congratulations to Leonor López Herrera on her 110th birthday. We would also like to thank her family for sharing photos of the celebration with us. We hope she had a wonderful day and wish her many more years of health and happiness.
