(CLARÍN, September 22, 1962)

• Less than a year after the murder of Livia Gouverneur, The Red Virgin, in the early morning of September 21, 1962, her mother, Lola Camero de Gouverneur, died of the burden and hopelessness caused by the murder of her young daughter.
• She was married to César Humberto Gouverneur Camero, her first cousin, both farm workers, from Valle de La Pascua, edo. Guárico. From this union, 11 children were born, of whom Livia Margarita was the oldest.
• This emblematic mother was devastated by the pain and loss of her eldest child, and she could not overcome the absence of the heroic revolutionary assassinated by anti-Castro baptisteries on November 1, 1961.
• Within a few months, sadness turned into a cancer that consumed her.
• She lived with her husband and children in house No. 5, from Centro to San Benito, La Sabana del Blanco neighborhood, San José del Ávila sector of La Pastora, Caracas. House that is still standing.
• That day of his daughter's wake, from a humble funeral home located on the corner of Tienda Honda, the coffin came out to the General Cemetery of the South.
• Gustavo Machado, president of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), did not separate himself all the way from Mrs. Camero de Gouverneur.
• However, due to fierce police persecution, some close friends of the Communist Youth of Venezuela (JVC) refrained from accompanying her, so as not to be arrested and sent to concentration camps in the Guiana jungles (El Dorado).
• Despite the police siege that tried to prevent the funeral and kidnap the remains of the murdered woman, the huge crowd that accompanied her to her last place of residence could not be contained.
