After 7 sons, George and Olive Osmond had a precious little daughter they named "Olive Marie." Wayne remembers his father almost in tears when he found out that a sweet baby girl, born on his birthday, October 13th, had joined their family. How special it was for Father Osmond and Marie, his only daughter, to celebrate their birthdays together every year.
Wayne knows that he was 8 years old when Marie was born because he had just been baptized, not too long before his mother went to the hospital and Marie was born. He can still see himself and his brothers standing outside the Dee hospital in Ogden, Utah, looking up to the window where his mother was standing and holding Marie up, so her brothers could see her for the very first time. Marie's brothers stood on the lawn outside the hospital and sang "Ain't She Sweet" to their new baby sister. What a joyous day it was for the whole family!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIE!
WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!
WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!

Kathy,
I can't imagine the feeling Father Osmond had when he had a baby girl on his Birthday. That certainly must be a gift from Heaven. Happy Birthday Marie
Marie is a godsend for all the family. I imagine the immense happiness she has made to mother Osmond, Osmond father and each of his brothers. Marie is a wonderful woman. I was honored to meet her in Vegas. I still do not realize that my dream has become reality (also to have met Donny)§§
Happy birthday Marie
Love
Cathy
A very Happy Birthday to Marie today.
How sweet of you to share Wayne's memories of Marie's birth on her birthday! God bless you and your family and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish to MARIE! :)
Seriously! What an incredible gift for that dad and the whole Osmond family! So special. ;)
I can tell, from the moment I met the brothers, that they are protective of there Sis.
I'll never forget the standing ovation( I'm pretty sure Wayne told you about that) we gave Marie, it was right after Micheal's passing and Merrill was talking about how hard it was on him, Wayne, Jay, Jimmy, Alan, Viril, Donny and Tom to see their sister is so much pain...
The love these siblings has for each other, how can you not be proud to be a part of this family
Happy Birthday, Marie.
I love that story of Wayne meeting his sis for the first time.
Happy Birthday to Marie, hope she had a nice celebration.
I know she feels special being the only female in the family.
That was so sweet of them to be standing outside the hospital singing to her.
Happy Birthday to Marie. I actually pulled out my Side By Side VHS and started to watch the movie. I haven't seen it in a while. I saw that scene where the brothers were outside on the lawn singing to her sister. It was emotional scene. It was strange to see Marie holding herself as a baby in the movie. I know she was playing her mother, but it was kinda weird to see her holding herself.
I also saw Travis and Justin. Justin was soo cute.
What a wonderful gift! Happy Birthday to the beautiful Marie!
