Single mother of 17!

Granny Maureen is absolutely inspiring.  She is the proud mother of 17 children.  She has 13 sons and 4 daughters, but says that the boys are very kind so that the girls never feel outnumbered.  Raising 17 children would be challenging enough for any parents; however, it is unimaginable to raise 17 children alone.  But, that is exactly what Maureen did.  After her husband abandoned her, Maureen never gave up.  She took a job as a nurse at the Utah Valley Hospital and continued to raise her children as best she could.
When Maureen was younger, she enjoyed playing softball.  She was a star shortstop.  She also loved to watch her children play baseball, football and basketball.
Granny Maureen smiled today!  Please send this to your friends and consider donating to help us bring smiles to as many of our favorite Grannies as possible.  
Granny Maureen, you are an amazing woman!!!
