Marie Frey is one lucky woman.
The Daily Chief Union reported the great-grandmother met 86th great-grandchild on her 86th birthday.
Baby Blakely arrived late last month, just a few days before Frey’s birthday.
According to ABC News, Frey married her late husband, Gerald, in 1949 and always knew she wanted a big family. In fact, the two had 15 children together.
Her family is spread out across the country, at times living overseas.
All her children also had large families, giving her 68 grandchildren and 86 biological great-grand children. They say family events get rather large.
"One time at Christmas we counted 155 that were here at one time," a family member told The Courier.
Frey used to babysit some of her grandchildren, but these days she does less of that and spends her time dancing, playing cards and mowing the grass.
