Well she is just the most precious jewel ever!! What a lovely story. What a Homecoming that will be some day.
Thank you Carol 😀
Amen.
So happy I found you on Utube. She is very sweet and her love story is beautiful.
What a sweet story! Jerry was one of the finest men I've ever known. He adored Evelyn and she adored him. It was a pleasure to see.
Jerry knew he better get a ring on her finger, I bet he thought she was the prettiest thing he’d ever seen too!
Precious, just precious. She seems so devoted to her late husband. She is very beautiful. I can tell she is a Godly lady.
We will be needing more stories from Granny.....
Yes, indeed!
You are blessed to have your sweet mother to still be able to tell stories and memories from the past. What a wonderful love story.
Wow what a genuine love story. Wish I'd watched it sooner. God gave you the man alright. Now Tipper, this is your Mother, not Granny, right??
“Mama pitched a fit”....ohhh how precious she is! Absolutely a beautiful love story! Blessings🙏🏻💖
My momma had 6 girls, 1 boy and she pitched a fit on all our marriages.😂
Your dad, Jerry, couldn’t ask for a better legacy than the love story your mom shared. To say how thankful to God for them meeting, and how good he was to everyone. She also said the Lord really blessed her with Jerry. Wow. That’s a beautiful love story.
This beautiful soul deserves the rarest of jewels.
What a precious lady
And a loving story
Wonderful Valentine story, xoxoxo
Wow Ms Lori..cool to see you here..I follow you 😊❤️
Miss Lori I also follow you
Imagine 52 years of Trustworthy Companionship. That's a Miracle anymore. My Mama and Daddy were married 15 yrs when my Daddy died in 1973. Mama was a Widow for 39 years waitin' to go home to Daddy. True Love is Eternal. May God continue to Bless you Dear Lady ❤️.
There's not many women around like that anymore with simple wants and needs.I'm happy her story turned out like it did. Thank you and God Bless
this is the beauty of this short mortal life, men and women in total dedication and love to one another. It's sad that people today perceive this as some burdon or contrition
She's a "My cup runneth over" kind of lady!!! A fine example of gratitude!
Granny is about as precious as can possibly be. As She said,, if she hadn't gotten home sick and got back home,,would have never met Mr Jerry. Wish every human being on the planet had the kind heart Granny has. ,World would be a much better place for sure. Tell Granny Thank You for sharing her 'love story".
I will! Thank you for watching!!
What a touching love story for Valentine's Day.
What a precious story 🥺 my mother-in-law married at 16 and has now been married for 51 years. My husband and I have been together for about 17 years now and I look forward to telling these kinds of stories to our 2 daughters and their children in the future. Thank you for sharing this! It brightened my day.
Tipper, I hadn't realized how much your mother and I have in common. I am 80, widowed, and was married to my dear husband for 52 years. What a wonderful love story she tells. Bless you, Granny and all your family.
Bless her heart. She was a rebel, goin off and getting married without her mama knowing. She is so sweet. I wish I could sit and talk with her. She reminds me so much of my family. I loved hearing their stories too. Thank you for sharing.
I got married at 18 because my husband was off in the military and i missed him so much. I still remember being terrified to tell my parents we had decided to get married and I would moving across the country. We're still together 32 yrs later. Watching this lovely lady talk about her husband warmed my heart. 💜
I think that is one of the sweetest love story's I've ever heard,because it's not something that's been made up...it's real. I just love your Mother. She's an Angel.
SHE IS A PRECIOUS LADY,IT BREAKS MY HEART TO HEAR HER TALK ABOUT HIM AND HOW MUCH SHE MISSES HIM.I COULD LISTEN TO HER TALK ALL DAY,YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE A MAMA LIKE HER.GOD BLESS HER
What a Lovely Lady. Very few young people today will ever experience the type of Love and respect that this Lady is speaking of and it's sad.
What a beautiful story and memories.
Wow - the resemblance between the granddaughters and grandmother is incredible!
What an awesome story, you can tell she really loved your daddy, they seemed to definitely be SOULMATES. It’s such a blessing for you to still have her to share these special memories with y’all and with us. 52 years of marriage that’s something to be proud of for sure!! Thanks for sharing her with us. GOD Bless Y’all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇🙌🏻🙌🏻
What a wonderful story. I, too, had a precious husband for 54 years, & like your mama, I miss him every day. The memories are a balm & our kids, grands & greats are a blessing. She is a precious lady & her story is touching! God bless her & you. Love and prayers ❤😊
Sharon-thank you! I'll tell her your story-thank you for sharing and watching 😀
What a blessing! A mother and father loving their home and family for fifty- two years.
I am truly blessed!! Thank you for watching 😀
Every young person should listen to this true love story. You can hear her love for him and how much she misses him.
She’s a sweet precious woman I appreciate her sharing her story with us ❤️ she’s a treasure.🙏🏾
What a lovely story. I feel in my heart she will be with Jerry again (hopefully a long time from now) in the sweet by and by. Thank you so much for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed it Jane 😀
This reminds me of my late mom and dad telling stories to us growing up!!! This is what the world needs more of!!! GOD AND FAMILY!!!!🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼🥰
Your mother is precious I enjoyed that story of your dad and how they met
Thank you!!
Oh bless her heart !! She is precious!! She probably knows he is still with her, when you love like that , people die but they do not leave us. May she be blessed with the knowing he is with her always . ❤️❤️❤️💯
what a beautiful story, I remember part of it from another video. a time when men and women knew what it meant to make a lifetime commitment to one another. Jerry looked confidant and cool. Definitely alpha male. Something missing from society today. We could use more Jerrys in our world now.
He really was the best-I miss him! Thank you for watching!!
She’s such a sweet lady...I loved hearing her talk about the way she & your daddy met....Precious memories for sure!
Brenda
Thank you Brenda 😀 Hope you have a great week!
I lost my mom when I was 12 and my mawmaw in early 1990. I wish I could hear their stories now. When I lost them I lost a part of my own history. I love this story. Beautiful lady.🐱🌼❤
What a truly beautiful lady. I remember homesickness well, and it is like a sickness of the spirit.
The girls look just like Granny when she was young. All three are rockstars!
Thank you 😊
Wishing there was more families like yours!
I really do like pap's name. Granny's story of chance, reminded me of my wife Patricia. I met her in a bar, with her lifelong friend. I asked for her phone number, she gave me the wrong number. Her friend said give him a chance, and wrote her correct number. 27 years later and 2 daughters. I don't believe we have been apart except her mother's family reunion for 4 days. I feel the same way about my wife that granny does about her wonderful husband of 52 years. Blessed by god granny has lived the blessings god gave her. All those days of love, and being able to look back at a life lived with her husband. God bless you and your family.
Thank you Jerry! You do have a great name 😀 So glad you enjoyed Granny's story!
Thank you for sharing and apples don’t fall too far from the tree.
Thank you Tom 😀
Such a beautiful love story, two hearts brought together by God. Love is the only thread death cannot break.
What a precious lady. Beautiful love story. That's what marriage is suppose be. A love that will stand the test of time. You have really touched my heart.
She was beautiful young, she is beautiful now! What a love story, so timely then and so timely now on Valentine's Day! No wonder you are such a wonderful person! God bless us all on this Valentine's Day with much love and health and happiness! I loved to hear her story, it gives me hope for such a love in life...
That is so kind-thank you!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia I Thank You for sharing with us, I look so forward to your vlog!
How sweet her story was !! Her Jerry is waiting on her with the Lord and what a beautiful reunion that will be .
Such a sweet love story. I'm crying for her happiness to have such a wonderful husband and life. ♥️👩🦳🌺
What a loving tribute to your parents' wonderful, long marriage! I wish all couples loved each other so unconditionally and deeply. Please "interview" your lovely Mother again soon and let her share more about her earlier years as a new wife. She is a jewel.
Awe, bless her heart. She's such a sweetie!
Such a beautiful story. She’s precious! Thank you for sharing your Mom with us.
Serendipity ❤️ Puts down handkerchief and thinks, “ Where’s that ‘55 right now?” Your Mother’s an absolute treasure. Preservation of the stories and the ways is so very important. My Mom had five sisters, growing up in the Willamette valley in the ‘20’s-‘30’s. Takes me back…🥲
Oh man... brought tears to my eyes... I can feel her sadness from losing him. Such a beautiful woman!
52 years,almost unheard of nowadays.What a happy life she has had,God has truly blessed her!!
Words can't Express the love they had💕
So sweet, makes me smile to hear her story. Not many people can stay in love for 52 years, and still be in love after one has passed. 💒
I feel like the Lord blessed me just by watching this.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad!
52 years is like yesterday. Love you granny!
You are so blessed, to live in gods nature, and having your mother telling this story is so sweet... thank you for sharing.
What a lovely love story. I have one too. The first time I saw my husband I knew he was the one. He had just walked into the building and was still far away.
Later he asked me to dance and I said yes! I never danced with strangers! What was I doing?! My whole table of friends were in shock. I was too.
He was in the military so we went out the next night. The next day he deployed for 12 months. We wrote letters to each other every day. This was before computers, cell phones etc. When he came home on leave he asked me to marry him.
He deployed again. This time for 9 months. When he returned home we were married. Thankfully this time he was stationed in the USA. I got to spend a year with him. We’ll be married 37 years this year if it’s the Lord’s will. I really wanted to hit one of the big milestones like 50,60 or even 70. That won’t happen because I have a terminal illness that can’t be treated because I’m allergic to the medications. I’m just appreciative of every moment with my precious husband. He is my caregiver as well as my husband and friend. I’m in a wheelchair and unable to do anything for myself so he has to do it all. I know God brought us together. I had prayed for Him to choose my husband, if He wanted me to have one. I also prayed that I’d know him when I saw him. I still think my husband is the best looking man for me!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I'm so glad you've got him too 😀
Such a precious story about the love of her life. Thank you Tipper for sharing. My husband and I, his name is Jerry also, have been married 53 years. It seems like it’s flown by. Only the Lord know the number of our days. He still works very hard. Thank you again for sharing this beautiful love story.❤️
I don't know how I came across this, but how precious of a story. Reminds me of some of my grandmother's and mom's accounts of falling in love and life-long marriages, walking with the Lord in His tender mercy.
What a cool love story and it hits close to home as my wife and I are from Lenoir, just up the road from Gastonia.
I now know where you get your love for family and Appalachia! God did send Granny, Pap. Such a blessing; it made me cry. I watched it three times. I know you lost a piece of your heart, also, the day he passed. Thank you for sharing their life, yours and others. It means a lot.
Thank you Kathy!!
Such a pleasure and a blessing to watch this video. God bless this fine woman. Thank you for sharing.
I cried listening to this. Thank you for preserving your heritage and sharing it with us. I'm Southern but only had little experience in true Appalachia and y'all are the nicest people we've got in the States. God bless your entire family
I lived in Haywood county for 20 years, I lived in the back of the hills. I lived where moonshine was made.. I truly loved the area, the people were true. My grandmother was full of stories of the Appalachia stories and I always loved hearing her stories. My grandmother truly lived off the land and what the area had to offer. My grandmother made a living off of selling her honey and apples, grandfather had died before I was born.. Grandmother is gone, but sure do miss her stories.. Love them why you have them.. Oh and my granny also did sewing.. To some that might seem a rough life, but not too my grandmother...Blessings to all.
They made such a good-looking couple!
What a precious testimony of family and lives worth living. Thanks for letting me hear it...
What a wonderful recollection of a meeting that might have never happened but seems to almost have been predestined. What a blessing to be left with beautiful memories when somebody leaves us. Thanks again for sharing these memories with us - it sort of makes me feel like we're neighbors, even if only internet neighbors.
That is so wonderful! My parents met when she was waiting tables. She had worked in woodworking factory while men were in WWII. My dad who had just come back from Guam where he had been stationed with The Fighting CeeBees US Navy. As she was taking his order, he asked her out for dinner & a movie. Thinking he probably forgot, she stood at the bus stop to take bus home. Suddenly he was standing right behind her & asked if she was ready to go out for the evening! They, like granny & Papp, dated for three months & got married! They were married for 51 yrs when The Lord called daddy home! That was the hardest time of my life as he was my hero! It was easier losing mom for two reasons-she had Alzheimer’s & the fact she was without dad! It only seemed right they were once again together❤️ When dad came back from the war, he went back to his place of employment which happened to be the woodworking factory that mom had worked in during the war! Dad worked there 48 yrs until his heart attacked him.
Bless you Mary! So glad you had them and they had each other 😊
What a wonderful and beautiful story! The love you still see for her husband is so sweet! Thank you for sharing this moment!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story of a life well loved. God bless you!
You're welcome-thank you for watching 😀
May God Bless your sweet mother, enjoy your time with her.
What kind of hold do those mountains have on folks? My Daddy told me about going with his Dad to do a big plastering job west of Tyler Mt on WV where we lived. Even though he was with his own dad & a few relatives he became so homesick they had to send him back. He loved his oldest sister & mother so much he went to see them every day even when he was married. No one could cook like them, make biscuits like them or make preserves like them. He always came back to us with a few fried pies. Great memories.
What a great question Rose! Its one I've studied on a lot! Here's a blog post I wrote about the subject blindpigandtheacorn.com/a-sense-of-place-in-appalachia/ Thank you for watching!!
I enjoy all your videos Tipper but I don’t believe I love any of them more than when you are letting Granny tell her stories!! So many have commented how precious she is and I don’t think there is any other word to describe her... Precious!! Just precious! A treasure... Such a beautiful love story!
“He could always talk me into anything” ~ That’s what happens when to truly love someone ❤️ I’m glad she got homesick too... Look at the wonderful legacy that resulted!! Thank you for sharing... Would love to see more...
Aw, how sweet! 💖 She reminds me of my Mam, especially w those cheeks! But she is softer spoken, & my Mam had a wider nose. She says Jerry like she did too, like jury!😊 What a blessing they had a beautiful love story! What a pretty cake she crocheted!!🎂😍 God bless!!
She is so sweet, Tipper. I hope to meet you both one day. She’s my Granny’s great niece, but I'm sure she never met her.
Thank you Sherry! Would be great to meet and exchange family stories 😀
What a beautiful love story and what a testimony of God's great love.
Omgosh she is so precious! God Bless her sweetheart .🙏🏻💖🙌🏻
Thank you for getting Granny to share the story of her romance and marriage. In the photo of Granny and her mother, posted at 3:43, Granny looks soooooooo much like Chitter, and every bit as pretty, too.
Such a beautiful lady telling a wonderful story Thank You for this love from Ireland ☘️☘️☘️
How beautiful! What a wonderful world we would have if there were more lovely people just like Granny!
Awwweeee! She is so lovely. What a sweet love story. It is always so wonderful to think how God guides our path. And to the best person for our life. God bless her! ❤️❤️
What a beautiful love story. I can truly feel the love that Granny & Jerry had for each other all those 52 years. Hugs!
I can relate to her being homesick. My fiance lives only an hour away, but I am having a hard time coming to terms with leaving home soon. My mom, Dad, and I are so close and do everything together - it is hard imagining that not being the case anymore.
And What a precious, precious lady.
Thank you for sharing your story. Such a sweet and precious story.
Thank's for sharing really enjoy these real-life stories my mother was 14 when she married
my husband is in Heaven and I know how she feels .I feel the same way about my husband and my husband was good to people. and a good husband.
Oh Tipper, thank you for having her share her beautiful love story! I know I'll have a smile in my heart all day!
GODBLESS you GRANNY ,we love you and this beautiful story,prayin love and good health to you and your family. 😊❤😊
Bless her sweet heart ❤️ What a wonderful treasure you have there for all time in her telling her story of the beginning of your family’s 😊😊❤️
We should all know that our children need to make their own decisions and often times they are ready to do that before we are ready. We need to give them our love and support and celebrate them.
So wonderful to hear her story and how sweet they loved each other so much. What a lovely lady.
That pic of Granny with her mother is Katie all day long! Love the love story, so sweet. ❤
God bless her. God bless Jerry. God bless Momma and God bless You.
She reminds me so much of my grandma....same accent. I love the way she calls Gastonia, “Gastoney “. My grandparents said it the same way.
Oh my gosh, this brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful love story. True love. Two beautiful souls. Granny is so sweet. She is a blessing.❤️
Such a sweet love story. In one of her younger pictures I saw a resemblance to Corie and Katie.
I am a retired pastor and Linda and I have been married almost 54 years We watch you all the time and appreciate these stories so much We thank God for your father’s ministry and we pray all His blessings upon your mother your marriage your family and your baby grandsons
Thank you so very much!!
Thank you for sharing your sweet Mama with us. This is a precious story
Such an awesome story!! My Mamma's side of the family were mostly out in Gastonia. Mamma used to tell me stories of working in the cotton mills, when she was young, and later when Mamma and Daddy were first married. I have lots of family out there still...Thank you for the lovely story 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Another thing we have in common 😀
What a beautiful remembrance of their life together. Times have changed but love doesn't. Now I know who Pap was. I 've heard Granny and Pap mentioned. I see his name was Jerry. Thanks for the lovely family sharing. Blessings.
