Incredible photographs captured the moment a 100-year-old woman first meets her great-granddaughter.

And to make it even more special, the newcomer is the first girl to be born into a family after a staggering 75 years.

Gwen Smith first met little Maeva, born November 24, 2021, at her residence at Dene Holm’s Residential Care Home in Northfleet, Kent, on December 21, 2021.

At an incredibly special moment, the Smiths watched the 100-year-old man hold Maeva for the first time while surrounded by five generations of family.

Speaking of the day, just before Christmas, Gwen’s family said, “It was a very special opportunity to meet all five generations, especially during the pandemic.

“Strict protocols still apply, but the caretaker, Chris, has authorized the visit, for which we are all extremely grateful.”

The inhabitant of the home for the elderly, who will be 101 years old next month, already has five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and six step-grandchildren and was extremely proud to have met the latest addition to the family.

Unfortunately, Gwen’s cataract means that she can’t see very well anymore, but according to her family, she was still extremely happy to meet the little one.

Gwen was born in Essex on February 28, 1921, and after moving to Gravesend in her youth, became a passionate dancer and performed at many local events while working in her father’s seed shops in Kent.

 

Gwen married Ron in 1940 (pictured), after the Royal Engineer managed to get a special vacation of just eight hours when he was stationed on the Isle of Grain.

She met her husband Ron at the age of 16 when he was a trained electrician at Blue Circle Cement Works.

World War II separated the newlyweds, and Ron was sent to serve overseas with the Royal Engineers.

The couple married at the height of World War II in 1940 after Ron managed to get an extraordinary eight-hour vacation when he was stationed on the Isle of Grain.

JAfter saying goodbye, the couple did not meet again for another five years.

After the war, they finally got together and enjoyed many happy years of travel, while raising their two daughters, Gloria and Sandra – who, until Maeva, were the last girl born in the family 75 years ago.
