Happy Mother's Day History of Mother's Day According to National Geographic , Mother's Day began in 1905 when a Virginia native Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis (September 30, 1832 – May 9, 1905) after his death. Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was a female social activist who fought for improved sanitation and reduced infant mortality in the 1850s. Her daughter, Anna Marie Jarvis (1864–1948), organized the first official Mother's Day in 1908, on the anniversary of her mother's death, in honor of her mother and her life's work. Andrews Methodist Church, where Ann Reeves Jarvis taught Sunday School for 25 years, held its first public Mother's Day service on the morning of May 10, 1908. Anna Jarvis did not attend the event but donated 500 white carnations for all attendees to use. That same afternoon, 15,000 people attended another public memorial in Philadelphia organized by Anna Jarvis at the Wanamaker Store Auditorium. This Mother's Day holiday became an official observation holiday in 1914 thanks to support from President Woodrow Wilson. First draft published in April 2019
