Victoria Dominguez Guzman, ahundred-year-old Cuban woman who came to the United States withparole humanitarian, died Saturday in Norfolk, Nebraska.

Victoria arrived at Miami International Airport on January 20, after almost a year waiting for the US government to approve her application forparole filed by their relatives.

"His blood pressure dropped completely and he died. He left quickly and without pain," explained Elier, who left Cuba on a raft in 2007 and resides in Tampa. Despite the sadness, he thanks God because his grandmother lived to be more than 100 years old.

Born in Alto Potrero, a rural community in Vertientes, in Camagüey, the old woman was known as La Gallega. She married the Spanish Adolfo Moreira, owner of a farm that was seized by the Castro regime in 1959.

Victoria's arrival in the United States was captured in moving photographs, where she was seen smiling, bundled up and holding a cell phone.

In these almost three months that she spent living in lands of freedom, her relatives shared photos on Facebook in which they were seen surrounded by their numerous offspring.

In Cuba he had left a daughter, three granddaughters and two great-grandsons.
