In her large Kentucky family, this 98-year-old matriarch finally got to meet her first great-great-great-grandchild.
This past February, MaeDell Taylor Hawkins held seven-month-old Zhavia Whitaker for the first time.
A picture of the occasion that was shared by granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell has since gone viral. With the offspring of her own daughters and their children, MaeDell now has almost 620 grandkids.
Gracie, who costarred with MaeDell, told People, “We thought this was special because it’s all girls.”
The granddaughters Gracie Snow Howell, great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, and MaeDell’s daughter Frances Snow are all shown in the picture. The picture was taken by Hawkins’ granddaughter, Sheryl Blessing.
