Family Celebrates Three Generations Of Birthdays

January 20, 2017

Against tremendous odds,  a  local family had three members celebrating a birthday on Friday

Janis O’Farrell of Walnut Hill, born in 1935, turned 82 Friday. Her son Dennis O’Farrell of Walnut Hill, born in 1959, turned 58. His daughter Candi O’Farrell Lusk of nearby Perdido, AL, was born in 1981 and turned 36 Friday.

What are the odds? 1 in 1 in 133,225, according to published reports.

    My Dad, my youngest brother and my daughter all have the same birthday. This is the only other time I have heard of it. My older brother and sister have the same birthday exactly a year apart. My younger sister was born the day before my mother’s birthday, and I was born 3 days after my mother’s birthday.

    Happy birthday to all three of you.

    Wow! I have a niece turning 56yrs today. It’s an easy one to remember since it was the inauguration date of John Kennedy. The family was torn between the new baby and the TV, lol.

    Happy triple birthday! My husband and I have the same birthday, just different years. What is even stranger is that his ex-wife ALSO has the same birthday! Wonder what the odds of that might be?
