A remarkable family photo recently captured six generations of women, featuring 98-year-old MaeDell (Taylor) Hawkins cradling her great-great-great-granddaughter Zhavia, born in December. Gracie Howell, 58, organized the photo, which also included her mother, daughter, granddaughter, and Zhavia’s mother. The gathering celebrated this unique family lineage.

MaeDell, who will turn 99 in July, is described as sharp and caring, having held countless babies throughout her life. During the photo shoot, she lovingly held Zhavia, providing a touching moment that highlights their familial bond.

Gracie shared the photo with a local meteorologist, intending to recognize her grandmother’s incredible life. To her surprise, the image garnered significant attention and praise. Despite the challenges MaeDell faced, including a lack of modern conveniences during her early years, she never complained and always ensured her family had meals and clean clothes.

MaeDell’s story reflects her strength, resilience, and dedication to her large family, and she continues to be deeply loved and admired by her descendants.
