Ocaña committee to welcome BolívarBiography:
From Ocaña, Colombia, she was a member of a committee of señoritas who presented Bolívar with a crown of flowers when he arrived victorious at their town. She was chosen to present the crown and to give a short speech of welcome. (Monsalve, 111)
She was probably sister of Juana de Dios Lemus.
