Amelia Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Longview woman to inherit $10 million Jell-O fortune Tuesday, March 27, 2007 By kgw.com Staff A Longview, Wash. woman will inherit a multi-million dollar Jell-O fortune, the New York Post reported Tuesday. Elizabeth McNabb, who was adopted as a child, is heir to $10 million. Her great-grandfather, Francis Woodward, invested in a flavored gelatin company more than 100 years ago, according to the Post article. McNabb, 51, tried for 14 years to discover the identity of her birth mother. According to the Post, McNabb said she was prepared to find her birth mother might be a “bag lady.” “When McNabb finally met her mother, Barbara Piel, of Rochester, she learned her great-grandfather, Francis Woodward, put up $450 in 1899 for a flavored gelatin company - Jell-O. When Piel died in July 2003, Trustee Fleet Bank called McNabb seeking evidence of her relationship to Piel,” the article states. “Although a 2005 decision initially went against McNabb, the upstate Monroe County Surrogate Court last week ordered the trustees to show her the money,” the Post reported.
