Obituary
On Friday, February 26, 2021, Vera Solano quietly passed into eternity at the age of 93.
Vera was born in Las Vegas, NM, married her childhood sweetheart, David Solano, in 1949 and moved to California. They settled in Watsonville, where they raised their five children.
Vera worked at John Ingalls and Watsonville Canning. She was a practicing Catholic and had many Godchildren. She enjoyed dancing and socializing with her friends and family, and she was often hosting or attending a get together.
In her later years, she enjoyed quieter activities like crocheting, shopping and chatting on the phone. She cherished her weekly visits with Goddaughter, Rosie Marquez, and their spontaneous trips for an ice cream cone.
She was preceded in death by her husband, David Solano, her son, Ted Solano and her four siblings. She is survived by her daughters, Darlene (Sonny) Basaldua, Rose Diane (Javier) Marquez, Dolores Machado and Elisa Solano. She leaves behind 15 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews and Godchildren.
Due to the pandemic, services are for immediate family only.
