Listen, we all know Marie Osmond. She's not just a talented singer and TV personality; she's also a devoted mother to eight kids. So, when the world started feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, it's no surprise that Marie was quick to check in on her family. Recently, she made a quick trip to Arizona to ensure her 32-year-old daughter, Jessica, was doing okay. She wasn’t alone on the road trip—she brought along her 17-year-old daughter, Abigail, for some quality bonding time.

Marie shared a sweet moment from the visit on Instagram, capturing a candid photo of herself and her daughters. In the caption, she wrote, “Made a fast trip to make sure Jessica was safe and had food [and] toilet paper.” She added with a chuckle, “All is well, driving back home now. Hope you and your loved ones are all doing well too. Abby took this photo before I realized one of the arms from my reading glasses was sticking out of my purse. #familytime #weareinthistogether.” It’s a reminder that even celebrities are just like the rest of us—trying to keep things together during tough times.

A Little Bit of Fun Amid the Chaos

Marie’s dedication to family doesn’t stop there. Just days before her Arizona adventure, she posted a heartwarming photo of a family game night. Gathering her kids and grandkids, she embraced the idea of using this time to reconnect and bond. In the caption, she wrote, “We are not going to give in to fear during this time … we just won’t! Instead, my wish is that we may find restored faith and find new ways to have fun and make staying at home count for something good.”

She emphasized the importance of staying connected, even if it means finding new ways to do so. “We can use this time to connect with each other in new, meaningful ways!” she added. For Marie, that meant a fun evening playing games with her granddaughter and her two sons, Brandon, 23, and Matt, 20. She gushed in the caption, “Who knew I’d be excited about gaming! 😂 All in all, what a great time we had laughing together!” It’s clear that laughter and joy are essential, even in uncertain times.

Spreading Positivity and Encouragement

Marie didn’t stop at just having fun with her immediate family. She took the opportunity to spread positivity to her followers, encouraging them to use this time to reconnect with loved ones. In her post, she shared ideas for how people could help each other during the pandemic. “There are going to be people who need us, really need us in the coming weeks,” she wrote. “People have already lost their jobs, so we can help out with food. In some communities, schools are closed but parents still have to work so we can help with their children. There are the elderly in our neighborhoods that don’t feel comfortable going into a crowded grocery store so we can shop for them.”

She also reminded everyone to stay healthy and avoid contributing to the spread of the virus. “Let’s use social media for good things… to send jokes, funny memes and heartwarming stories,” she suggested. Marie encouraged her followers to “dispel fear” and focus on positivity. She quoted a comforting message: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee, yea I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Will She Visit More Family Members?

While Marie’s family game night was a blast, she didn’t forget about the rest of her large family. As a proud mom of eight, we can’t help but wonder if she’ll visit any of her other children soon. Maybe she’ll plan another road trip or find another way to connect with her loved ones. Whatever she does, one thing is for sure—Marie Osmond is all about keeping family close during these challenging times.
