TLDR: An old person does a thing that other people do, somehow this is newsworthy and is presented with factually incorrect title, even on printed media as "She Has 900,000 Grandkids and Fights Big Spiders"

>>scott3+(OP)
"Grandkids" is in quotes in even the original article's title, clearly indicating it's being used metaphorically.

Not on the original one printed on Sept. 6, 2020 , Section ST, Page 4 of the New York edition

There could be typographic reasons for that, space matters more on paper.

Or, maybe, the quotes are just there to tell you something, like the fact they're not literal grandkids and internet readers need extra help.
