The Beginning of Caldwell Reunions
The Caldwell family came in to existence centuries ago. But we give all thanks to the uniting of L.C. & Donia Caldwell. When God united them, he knew he was building a new nation of people. Through Donia's teachings, they would learn to love and respect his holy name. We thank you heavenly father. Because without them, we would not exist!
The family Reunions were founded by Eva Mae Bee (Deceased now), Douglas Bee,Wallace & Gloria Jones (deceased), Mattie Johnson, Walter B.Johnson,Bertha Reese(deceased) S.B. Reese, Donna Bell....it all began years ago in Sycamore Park of Fort Worth,TX. Since then children and great-children have joined in to host the annual family reunions.
Right now we have two headquarters:
Kansas City, MO and Fort Worth, TX
Our family believes that the love we share for each other is what keeps us so excited about hosting the reunions. With God's grace and mercy, that allows us to make it to see each other another year. Many have gone on to be with the Lord, but in the midst of all our bearevement the words of Mama Donia still ring out loud and clear! "Serve God! Serve God! No matter what the problem, always Serve God! May God bless each and every person that visit this website in a special way.
Donia was born on the 8th day of April in the year 1918, in the town of Hooks, TX. Later she met Mr L.C. Caldwell Sr. and they married in the year 1936.
Together they conceived 13 children, two of which died as babies. Later L.C. Caldwell Sr. passed away at a very young age and Donia was alone with God to raise 11 children on her own, from what she said "was a mighty struggle" but through the grace of God she did it. Those children are James Caldwell, Deborah King, Bertha Reese (deceased), L.C. Caldwell Jr. (deceased), Eva Bee (deceased), Marshall Caldwell (deceased), Mattie Johnson, Gloria Jones (deceased), Clarence Caldwell, George Caldwell (deceased), and Donna Bell. She taught them about God at an early age.
She moved to Fort Worth in 1971 to be with some of her children. Even then she was still teaching about God through her grandchildren. She later moved to Kansas City, MO to live with other children. In the year of 1996, she returned home to Texas (Fort Worth). Even on her sick bed she taught God (the word) until her departure date of July 9, 2000.
We also have the late Maxine Caldwell-Muldrew with a host of children and grandchildren (more info to come). Maxine was the sister of the late L.C. Caldwell Sr. They also had a brother the late Marshall Caldwell. This part of the wesbsite will be updated with more information regarding the Caldwell Legacy!
They might be gone but their legacy lives on. Through their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
