HON. CLAY HIGGINS

Tuesday, October 25, 2022
Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Rita Jeanne Hebert Domingue of Lafayette, Louisiana, on 100 years of life. Jeanne, as she is known to loved ones, is a hardworking wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Jeanne was born in Parks, Louisiana on October 22, 1922. Her family moved to Lafayette in the late 1920s, where she attended Mount Carmel High School. After graduation, Jeanne continued her education at Southern Louisiana Institute and earned a degree in secretarial science in 1944.
After graduating, Jeanne went on to work for Lafayette Power Utilities for three years until Robert Louis Domingue returned from overseas duty during World War II. She and Robert were married in 1946 and went on to have five children: Ron, Rita, Michael, Garry, and Clare.
At age 45, after the birth of her youngest child, Jeanne began working as a receptionist for a urology clinic in Lafayette. She excelled, using her degree to transcribe medical records. She impressed the office with her skill and discipline, and she was even tasked with taking X-rays for the doctors. After six years, she retired to spend more time with her family.
Jeanne is a devout Catholic. She has lived a life characterized by devotion to her faith, family, and friends. She is a loving wife to her late husband Robert, a caring mother to her five children, and a doting grandmother to her eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Madam Speaker, on behalf of the citizens of Louisiana's 3rd District, I honor Rita Jeanne Hebert Domingue for 100 years well lived. I wish her happiness and joy in the years to come. May God bless her and her loving friends and family.
