       HONORING RITA JEANNE HEBERT DOMINGUE ON 100 YEARS OF LIFE

                    in the house of representatives

                       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.
