An incredibly heartwarming photo showing six generations of women from the same family has gone viral recently as it captured the attention of a large number of people.
At the top end of the age scale is 99-year-old MaeDell Taylor Hawkins who is holding her seven-month-old great-great-great-granddaughter Zhavia Whitaker in her arms while the rest of the women, including MaeDell’s daughter, Frances Snow, 77, granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell, great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, 29, and great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, 19, are posing behind them. Today, MaeDell has more than 620 grandchildren from her own daughters and their children’s children.
“I know it’s rare for six generations … it’s even rarer for all of them to be the same gender,” MaeDell’s granddaughter Howell, 58, told Good Morning America. “We’re all girls — girl power, as well.”
When they snapped the photo and shared it on the social media, none of them knew it would attract that much attention.
“We just kind of planned a day, and we just all met and grandma knew we were coming,” Howell, who now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, said.
MaeDell got married back in 1940 when she was just 16 years old. Her husband was 50-year-old rail worker Bill Taylor who at the time had 10 children and needed someone to take care of them while he was at work. MaeDell took the role of a mother and went on to have 13 children on her own.

The family lived a very simple life as they lacked electricity, running water, and a stove, among the rest.
Getting married young was normal back in the day. Speaking of it, Howell said, “Now we don’t. We have children later in our life, so families are not that big. Having six generations is very, very rare to start with.”
The Kentucky matriarch now boasts a whopping 623 descendants, according to a family chart shared by her daughter-in-law, Janice Taylor. They include 106 grandchildren, 222 great-grandchildren, 234 great-great-grandchildren and 37 great-great-great-grandchildren.
“If everything goes well, the baby’s doing well, Grandma’s doing well – we’re all going to meet back in June and get another picture,” the family shared.
(VIDEO) Lip Reader Deciphers What Travis Kelce Yelled at Andy Reid During Super Bowl 58 Sideline Clash
During the second quarter of the Super Bowl, Isiah Pacheco fumbled inside the red zone while Travis Kelce was off the field, prompting his frustration.
The Chiefs tight end swiftly approached head coach Andy Reid and passionately expressed his discontent. Kelce’s actions caused Reid to take a few steps back.
Despite attempts to decipher their exchange in repIay, Kelce’s exact words to Reid remained unclear.
However, a professional lip reader later revealed Kelce’s message: “Keep me in. You (expletive)! I’m calm now!” according to The Daily Mail.
Following Kansas City’s overtime victory against the 49ers in the Super Bowl, both Travis Kelce and Andy Reid addressed the viral confrontation between them.
Reid downplayed the incident, expIaining that Kelce caught him off guard, leaving him unbalanced. He also mentioned that Kelce apoIogized afterward, emphasizing the tight end’s competitive nature and love for the game.
Kelce, during ESPN’s postgame show, humorously acknowledged the incident, hinting at keeping it private unless his mic’d up segment revealed otherwise. He jokingIy stated he was expressing his love for Reid during their exchange.
After a slow start with just one catch for 1 yard in the first half, Kelce’s performance improved dramatically after haIftime and a memorable Usher show. He finished the game with nine catches for 93 yards, contributing significantly to the Chiefs’ victory.
Kelce’s 93 receiving yards led the team, making him only the third player in NFL history to lead three different Super BowI champions in receiving yards, joining Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin.
