Brown's Nursing Home residents have lots of laughs at beauty pageant

The Alexander City Outlook - 5/19/2018

Mavis Peters was crowned Mrs. Brown'sNursing Home as the facility held a beauty pageant to celebrate National Nursing Home week.

Peters was watched by family Thursday afternoon as she responded to the question "What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?" by master of ceremonies Ronnie Betts.

"My husband," Peters responded.

Peters later said she meant to say Betts' name but didn't. Betts knocked her crown off while congratulating the winner and getting the non-public change of her answer.

Peters' response was not the only answer to draw laughs from residents and family in attendance.

"I like to dance," 95 year-old Jewell Fomby said.

Linda Campbell answered the question "What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?"

"God," she responded.

Eddie Moncrief got the question "What is your favorite thing?"

"Reading the Bible, loving my Lord and my grandbabies," Moncrief responded.

"I like being with my children," McFann said.

Katie Scroggins got the question "What is the most fun thing in your life?"

"My kids," Scroggins said with a smile.

Geneva Morris got the most laughs with her response to what she loves most in her life.

"Bingo," Morris said quickly while raising her hand as if she were playing the game.

The judges took a liking to Gloria Slaughter who said her favorite thing to do was "Eating, especially chicken and fish."

Rev. Wayne Cowhick, Buffy Colvin and Scott Hardy judged the contest and rewarded Slaughter with flowers and a snack of Cheetos.

Ruth Bigelow could not decide how to respond to what she loves best in life.

"I don't know," Bigelow said. "It's all good."

Ethel Smith was the same as Bigelow.

"Everything," Smith said.

Peggy Wesson responded to her what her favorite hobby is.

"I like to talk," Wesson said.

No one was a loser in the pageant. All went home winners.
