What is a Village Granny?

A granny is, by definition, an elder, a grandame. She has hard-won life experience, wisdom and endurance to pass on to others. She is part of a family, a team, a village, that works together to raise the next generation -- a most worthy and daunting vocation. To be called a Village Granny can sometimes feel like being one lone person in the world. But to a child, you can be the WHOLE world.

Who is the Village Granny?

Granny is my name, and spoiling is my game. I’m 74 years old and have been married for 53 years, with 2 grown children: daughter, married and son, single. I have one grandson, 16 years old, who lives nearby, and Gramps and I see him often. I have 5 other grandchildren, ages 26 to 14 years old, who are the children of my niece and her hubby. They live out of state and we see them twice a year. I love being a Granny and feel that everything in my life has prepared me for this “job.” It’s a job I take very seriously, with a good sense of humor.
