CONGRATULATIONS to the lovely MEI YU GREEN, Ms. Maryland Senior America 2009, and good luck at the National Pageant!

Ms. Mei Yu Green was born and raised in Taiwan of a family of eight. Due to her father's love of gardens, she grew up surrounded by beautiful flowers and bonsai plants which influenced her artistic talent. In high school she won many awards for her ability with tranditional Chinese brush painting and calligraphy. She graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Fine Arts. In late 1960, she worked for the U.S. 13th Air Force Base in Taiwan and came to the United States in 1972.

After seven years, her marriage ended and she raised her two children alone. They are both married and she is a grandmother of four. Remembering her father strongly expressing the importance of a good education, she continued her studies and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Maryland while working during the day and attending school at night. She attributes her strength, in not wavering from her commitment to herself or her children, due to her strong faith and prayers to God.

In 2006 Mei Yu participated in the Ms. Maryland Senior America pageant. She placed second runner up and won the evening gown competition. During the year Mei Yu traveled with the Maryland Senior America Cameo Club in showcasing her talent.

Over the years her busy schedule has included teaching Chinese language and Chinese brush painting to senior adults through Anne Arundel Community College Arnold MD. She now volunteers and performs with the Maryland South County Showstoppers at assisted living and retirement homes. She also visited homeless shelters, worked as an accounting clerk and was a substitute teacher. She has owned her business, Nail Art Plus, since 1992. She is a licensed aesthetician, make-up artisan and nail technician.

As you look over her life, she is hopeful that it will give each reader inner strength and wisdom to go forward with love, forgiveness, faith and the ability to make the right choices. She looks at herself as an ordinary person but wants her experiences to inspire others in difficult times.


The Ms. Senior America Pageant is the world's first and foremost pageant to emphasize and give honor to women who have reached the "Age of Elegance." It is a search for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America, and our most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge, experience and resources that the younger generation has the opportunity to build a better society.
