Grandma Groom is Maurine Suitors Groom, Mother of Tellie. So she is Grandmother of Beth, Cindy, Doug, Robert, and Great Grandmother of Kevin, David, Caity, Alec, Hannah, Marika, and Jean. She is also the mother of Leonard Groom, Grandmother of Lisa and Martha, and Great Grandmother of Ben and Marian. She lives in a retirement condominium village in Jamesburg, NJ. This past summer a large reunion of the Suitors family was held in Crawfordsville, IN to celebrate Maurine's 90th birthday, and her sister Clara Grimes' 82nd birthday. Great Grandma Grooms's birthday is actually on December 1. Shown here are some of the pictures from that reunion.
