BeBe serves with the distinction of being the first Miss America crowned in an evening gown after the pageant was resurrected in 1935.
She has served the Miss America program on a local, state, and national level for over fifty years, being an avid supporter with a lifelong commitment to the scholarship program for young women. BeBe has focused on many volunteer and professional interests over the years including raising four daughters, promoting drug abuse prevention, supporting VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America), being active in her local church as a licensed lay minister, occasionally performing on the vibes and piano, and now enjoying her ten grandchildren.
What She's Doing Now
As a singer with a group called “Share the Music”, Bebe performs in a local dinner theater production. The two-hour show consists of solos, duets and ensemble works. She also stays busy attending all the sporting and musical events of her nine grandchildren.
