They say she was aptly named because “Remedios” means to mediate, and that’s what she’s done all her life. The family came to the U.S. in 1976 from the Philippines, where Somera and her husband were teachers.
Her children say she attributes her longevity to lots of walking and eating plenty of veggies.
She has 17 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
