I don't have any photos of her in her younger years, but I've a notion she looked much the same only with blacker hair.  It's just the way "grandmas" used to look!  (Us grandmas look much younger these days...)

From all the stories I've heard, Grandma Britt was quite the character.  Guess she had to be, to survive such a tough life and keep a smile on her face.  She was a woman of strong faith, with amazing resilience and strength...and as I remember and have heard others say, quite the colorful storyteller.

 

I treasure this photo I have of 5 generations of Grandpa's family.  That's my Great-Grandma Britt second from the left, with her mother, my Grandpa Britt, Mama, and me in 1959.

While Mama's family didn't have the time or money for real vacations, they did make regular trips from their coastal Carolina home to visit her grandma back in the central part of the state.  That trip itself was quite an adventure that created lasting memories for Mama.
