100 quilts displayed at granny's funeral for special reason

This is such a lovely story to start your Monday morning.

Janet White passed away last month at the age of 84, and her family decided to pay tribute to her in a beautiful way. 

The 84-year-old was known for making incredible handmade quilts, and over her lifetime she made 100 – four of which are to be given to her grandchildren on their wedding day. 

So it is no surprise they played a very special role in her funeral: adorning every pew in the church. 

Taking to Reddit, Janet's granddaughter Rachel White uploaded a picture of the quilts, writing:

"My Grandmother's handmade quilts draped over the pews at her funeral.

"She made over 100 for every special occasion.

My Grandmother's handmade quilts draped over the pews at her funeral. She made over 100 for every special occasion. Before she passed, she made four more, one for each of her unmarried grandchildren to be given to us on our wedding days. from pics

Describing her as a "wonderful woman", Rachel gave us all insight into the life her granny lived in a separate Reddit post. 

"In addition to travelling the world, she was valedictorian of her graduating class (my grandfather was salutatorian!) raised 6 children, took care of her sisters, and ran a successful dairy farm for 35 years," she wrote. 

"She was an avid gardener and the best grandmother to her 13 grandchildren. She treated all of us as her favorites, including my half sister who was not technically her grandchild. That never mattered to this wonderful woman."

My grandmother was born on a farm in Upstate New York in 1932. Despite her father's disapproval, her and my grandfather traveled the world, even passing through the iron curtain to visit the USSR in the 60s. Hong Kong was one of their favorite places. from OldSchoolCool
