Kelley has five children, 30 grandchildren, 88 great grandchildren, 49 great great grandchildren, and 1 great great great grandchild. That’s a huge family. Not only is it amazing that she’s made it to 100 years old, but to be able to celebrate a milestone like that with a family this big is something to treasure.

People don’t have big families like this anymore. So it’s cool to see a family come together like this and celebrate.
It’s kind of sad that coronavirus made the plans change a little bit, but we, as a society, have found some pretty cool ways to get around the restrictions and figure out how to make things somewhat normal.
Drive-thru birthday parties aren’t the best thing, but they are the best way to make the best out of a bad situation.
