What a lovely story and heritage, Denise. I had an Aunt Win-Win; her given name was Lillian, which became (over course) Win-Win when little kids attempted the name.
And grandmas and grandpas, too! My mom’s mom was (not unusually) Nana. My dad’s mom was called Gaga and his dad was “Popeye” (not sure where that originated). Gaga was a go-getter in Council Grove, Kansas! She was on the town council, was the docent at the historical society, gave tours for the town museum, and inspired my obsession with history. But that’s a very, very long story. I wish I had known Aunt Weewee . . .
I wish I knew. I don't think it's one of my dad's cousins. Aunt Lelia was the only family member who visited relatives in Waco, so I am guessing it may be that family?

Sometimes these aunts and great-aunts of ours are beyond precious. 💕

Who’s the little girl in the photograph? It’s a great picture!

Fröhliche Geburtstag, Tante Leila!
You would have liked her.
