Donna Crosby is known to her family as “Grandma” - which is fitting as she’s the mother of 13, grandmother of 75 and great-grandmother of 120.
GATESVILLE, Texas –
Granddaughter Danie Beth Crosby, 35, traveled the farthest from Honolulu, Hawaii, and 4-month-old great-grandson Ezra Timothy Parrish was the youngest in attendance. Donna was a woman of humble beginnings. She and her twin sister, Delores Ann, were born on April 28, 1932, to Eldon and Edna Riethmiller, in Mason, Michigan.
“When we got married, my husband told me he wanted a dozen boys,” Donna laughed. “But I told him one time I thought he was only kidding, but I had five that way, but he loved all the children and wanted them all, too.”While raising such a large family came with its hardships, Donna said she never lost her focus.
