House recognizes Utah Mothers of the Year during floor session
Summary
Representatives paused the session to present a legislative citation honoring Jeanne Jennings Godfrey as the 2005 Utah Mother of the Year and to recognize Heidi Van Boren Monson; members introduced guests and applauded honorees.
During the same floor session, Representative Joseph Murray requested personal privilege to introduce Jeanne (Jeannie) Jennings Godfrey of Harrisville, cited by the Legislature as the 2005 Utah Mother of the Year. The reading clerk recited the official legislative citation recognizing American Mothers Incorporated, the Utah Association, and the two honorees, Jeannie Jennings Godfrey and Heidi Van Boren Monson.
The citation, read on the floor, listed biographical details for Godfrey — lifelong Harrisville resident, mother and foster parent, PTA and community volunteer, and current support-staff supervisor with the state Division of Family Services — and noted Heidi Van Boren Monson as the 2005 Utah mother of young children. Representatives from across the floor offered congratulations, and members invited family and guests forward for recognition.
The recognitions were ceremonial: the clerk read the citation, members gave remarks and applause, and members noted past honorees in attendance. The proceedings then returned to legislative business.
