86 must be this great-grandma’s lucky number because just days before her 86th birthday on June 26, she received the gift of her 86th great-grandchild.
Yes, you heard that right. Marie Frey has 86 great-grandchildren!
She and her late husband Gerald, who died on October 2009, had 15 children with the oldest being 66-years-old. Marie also has 68 grandchildren, including two sets of twins, and six step-children. In addition to her 86 biological great-grandchildren, Marie also has nine step-great-grandchildren.
Here is baby Blakely Grace Frey, born on June 23, just three days prior to her great-grandma’s 86th birthday.
If you think having 86 great-grandchildren is too much, Marie thinks it’s just right as she’s used to being part of a large clan.
“She came from large family and Grandpa did too,” Frey’s grandson Kenny Frey told ABC News. “My wife and I also wanted a big family.”
Kenny continues that, “It’s pretty good that she got to see her. Family and faith are her two biggest favorites. She’s a very strong woman.” And this year, Marie is expecting two more great-grandchildren, which will make the number 88!
