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, you are an amazing woman!!!

Granny Anna was all smiles!  She loved the flowers and promised that they would keep her smiling everyday.  Anna is an inspirational lady.  She is the mother of five, grandmother of over 30, and great grandmother of "over a million."  She says she has had a wonderful life because she has a wonderful husband and family.  

When Anna was young, she enjoyed acting and singing.  She told us of the fun she had playing the lead roll in her high school play.  She loves Shakespeare, but her favorite play is Phantom of the Opera.

Our First and Favorite Red-headed Granny!!!

Granny Lorraine is an absolute delight.  She is extremely kind, gracious, and funny.  She was thrilled to receive her surprise flowers today, especially the flowers matched perfectly with her outfit.  Throughout our visit, Lorraine taught us all sorts of things like that redheads should never wear red, you should always keep your nails done, and above all, she reminded us how to smile.

Granny Lorraine taught us that the reason she can still smile is because she spent her life serving others.  She served as a nurse at the American Fork Hospital and at a care center for the disabled in Pleasant Grove.  Lorraine continues to receive visits from the grateful parents of some of the disabled youth she cared for.
Lorraine loves her daughter, her best friend Don, and her cats.  Before moving into her current care center, Lorraine cared for up to 15 cats, of which only three were her own.

Happy Genevieve Day!!!

We heard that Genevieve has been having some ups and downs lately, so we swung by with some flowers to make sure today will be an up!  She was happily surprised that the flowers were for her.  When she asked what the occasion was, we replied, "Because today is Genevieve Day!"

Granny Genevieve is such a funny lady.  When we asked her what we to tell people if they asked about her picture, she smiled and said, "Tell them to turn around and run away!"  Well, after meeting Genevieve we just can't do that.  So instead, for all of you that see her picture, know that she is an extremely sweet lady with a refreshing sense of humor.

Our Wild Irish Rose!!!

Granny Marjorie hasn't been feeling very well lately, so we dropped by to pep her up and wish her well. Although we caught her by surprise, she assured us that it was a good surprise. She loved the flowers, especially the lilies.
Marjorie has enjoyed her long life as a mother of six children (5 boys and 1 girl), a beautician, and a farmer’s wife. She misses the good ol’ days on the farm, picking and eating fresh tomatoes from her garden, and listening to her favorite song, “My Wild Irish Rose.”
Marjorie is the most pleasant lady and we are glad that we could help her feel at least a little bit better today.

93 and has still got her Marbles!

Growing up Granny Anna never thought she would reach the young age of 93, but she is happy that she now has.  She says she is especially happy that she has kept all of her marbles so far.  

Anna is such a pleasant lady.  She is the mother of five, but does not get to see her children nearly as often as she would like.  She has a beautiful smile and loves to tell stories.  She promised that if we visit her again on a day when she has more "ummph!" she will tell us one of her favorite stories, "The Happy Prince."  We can't wait for that next visit.
When we delivered Anna's flowers, she was overwhelmed.  Over and over again she smiled and said, "Oh, now aren't those beautiful!"  We told her that we brought her some surprise flowers to make her smile and said that every morning when she woke up, she needed to look at her flowers and smile.  She said that she does not smile every morning, but promised she now will.

Granny Donna!!!

Granny Donna is the sweet-silent type!  She is known as the "eyes and ears" of the home because she is always up walking around, watching, listening, and smiling.  But the best thing about Donna is that you will never hear her say anything bad about anyone.  When she does speak up, she is always positive.  One of Donna's favorite things to do is to take a stroll around the home while talking on the phone with one of her sons, who lives back east.  Donna truly is an incredibly sweet Granny!

Granny Donna smiled an even brighter smile today!  Please share this with your friends to help us bring smiles to as many of our favorite Grannies as possible!
