The United States Marguerite Koller in Pennsylvania received good news when welcoming the 100th of the family at the 100th birthday just a few months.
I think I'm lucky, the old lady Marguerite Koller, 99 years old, living in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, USA, said last weekend, when welcoming the 100th.
Marguerite Koller was born in 1922, was the only child in the family, who applied to join the monastery when he was a high school student, but changed his mind after meeting Mr. William, her future husband.
The two decided to get married in 1942, just before World War II broke out, and had 11 children together.

The couple welcomed their first child during the Baby Boomer boom, when the developed countries recorded a high fertility rate of post -war mutations.
At first I was going to give birth to 12 children, but gradually did not want to give birth so much, he said in the 2015 interview. After his husband died, Koller became the grandmother of 56 grandchildren.
Christine Balser, the granddaughter of Koller, the mother of the 100th great -grandchildren, said that she and her husband named their children Koller Willam, in honor of the child's grandfather.
She is a lovely, sweet, strong woman, who created a great heritage stretching for four generations, Ms. Balser said, added that he tried to be present at every baptism and good ceremony.
Koller will celebrate the 100 -year -old birthday in the next few months.
The older couple has their first children after 54 years of living, thanks to the method of in vitro fertilization.
