Jen Garner Named West Virginian of the Year
![]() |
2007 has been quite a year for Jennifer Garner, mom to Violet, 2. Her performances, as a hopeful mom in "Juno," and as Roxane in Broadway¹s "Cyrano de Bergerac," have earned her rave reviews, but this hard-working mama is getting kudos not only from the critics, but also from her own home state. |
She was bestowed the honor this year, "for her dedication, work ethic and unique role as role model and ambassador for West Virginia," according to her hometown paper, the Charleston's Sunday Gazette-Mail.
Jen first moved to West Virginia when she was four years old, in 1976, her mother, Pat Garner, told the Gazette-Mail, "She's pretty passionate about her love of West Virginia. She just considers it home." To show her appreciation for the honor, Jen penned an email to the paper, noting what makes West Virginia special to her. "I like to do the things that are familiar. I like to see people I grew up with. I always go to Taylor Books. I love going home to my church - Christ Church United Methodist. I probably visit a Dairy Queen, and I love the farmer's market."
