What do you consider to be the ideal number of kids? Many couples wish to have two children, while others aim to have many more than two.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the latter have dreams of becoming old surrounded by a large number of grandchildren. The mother in today’s tale was adamant on having a large brood. <\/p>\n

She saw her descendants multiply as her children grew up and had offspring of their own. When she was on the verge of becoming a nun decades ago, she had never envisioned having one hundred great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NEARLY A NUN <\/p>\n

Marguerite Koller, a woman from Pennsylvania, made the decision to become a nun while she was a senior in high school. <\/p>\n

She remained mum about what motivated her to apply to the convent, but she credited her late husband with saving her from taking the challenging route. <\/p>\n

The young Marguerite, who had been accepted by the monastery, abandoned her ambitions after hearing what William Koller had to say.<\/p>\n

She had no idea that he would wind up becoming her lifelong partner at the time. She remembered: When I was a junior in high school, I actually applied, but William talked me out of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HIS FIRST CHILD <\/p>\n

Marguerite and William were married in 1942, just before the outbreak of World War II. Marguerite, who didn’t have any siblings, knew she wanted a large family from the beginning.<\/p>\n

The couple had their first child a year after the conflict. As Marguerite recalled:\u2018I desired a sizable family. Being an only child, in my opinion, is challenging and lonely.\u2019<\/p>\n

Marguerite had intended to have 12 children, but the arduous labor and delivery caused her to change her mind. After having a few kids, she understood parenting wasn’t as simple as it seemed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fourth GENERATIONS <\/p>\n

After Marguerite, there were three generations full of talented individuals. There were lawyers, real estate brokers, educators, and even a businessman who ran the Koller Funeral Home, the family’s enterprise.<\/p>\n

But none of Marguerite’s offspring were able to grant her hidden request. She humorously remarked: <\/p>\n

I always wanted a doctor, but I never did.
\nMarguerite never has to be concerned about being alone because her family is made up of over 150 people.<\/p>\n

Her descendants continue to pay her visits, and holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving are off-limits to visitors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE ONE HUNDREDTH GRANDCHILD <\/p>\n

The birth of Christine Balster’s child, who was supposed to be the 99th great-grandchild but instead became the 100th, occurred about a week later than expected. Marguerite commented while holding the newest descendent on her list:<\/p>\n

\u2018I’m just reflecting on how fortunate I am.\u2019
\nBalster decided to commemorate her grandfather by naming her child after him with the approval of her spouse.<\/p>\n

She said that because her husband preferred the name \u2018Kole,\u2019 they chose to give their child the middle name \u2018William\u2019 and the first name \u2018Koller.\u2019<\/p>\n
