The Corbitt Family Gathers to Celebrate
By Tricia Hall

Family reunions are defined as fellowship, good food and
laughter. The immediate family, first cousins and other
relatives of community leader Leola Haynes gathered for
their reunion on Saturday, August 24, 2014. Five to six
generations have gathered to fellowship since 1952. “We
always come together, when people see us together, you can
tell we’re family,” said Leola Haynes.
Over 150 children, grand-children, great-grandchildren,
cousins, siblings and beyond filled the American Legion Hall
located on Byrne to enjoy the festivities. Family members
donated food for the occasion and cousin Tosha Easter was
the DJ.
“As long as Leola continues to organize the reunions, I’ll
keep coming to Toledo. I brought my son, two grandsons, my
wife, and sister-in-law,” said Clover Holden, a family
member.
