HONORING JASMINE MORAN
(Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the
remarkable life of Mrs. Jasmine Moran, an admirable Oklahoma Fifth
District philanthropist.
After surviving World War II in England, she uprooted her life to
move to Seminole after meeting her husband, an oil man from Oklahoma.
Inspired by a children's museum in Michigan, Mrs. Moran decided to
start her own in Seminole in hopes of reigniting the city. Eventually,
her idea came to life, and she created a world-class children's museum
that attracts 70,000 visitors a year.
But she didn't stop there. Almost single-handedly, Mrs. Moran created
an animal shelter that adopts out 75 animals a month.
Mrs. Moran's generosity, resilience, and commitment to the betterment
of her community and everyone around her is truly inspiring.
Though she will be deeply missed, there is no doubt that through her
selfless endeavors, her legacy will live on forever. Mrs. Moran's story
and the way she lived her life should stand as an inspiration to all
Oklahomans.
