Children of a Legend
Winston Churchill is known for many things, but his children are not as known. Winston and his wife, Clementine, had five children together. Four out of the five were girls, which at some times took a toll on Winston himself. Winston and Clementine had Diana, Randolph, Mary, Sara, and Marigold. Winston loved his kids very much because his father was not there for him that much. All of his kids except one grew up to live somewhat successful lives.

Mary has always had a kind heart and an example of this is that she would take care of orphaned lambs when she was a young child. She was destined to do great things and wanted to help others.
