Betty Rushing has led a very interesting life. Performing on the stage with her father since age 8, she still loves to perform and dance. Betty has modeled in New York and has been featured as a cover girl on Women’s Day magazine. In 1982, Betty was crowned Mrs. Mississippi and was recognized by the Mississippi House of Representatives for her title. She has continued to be active in the Mrs. Mississippi Pageant system as a judge and has also served as a preliminary judge for the Miss Mississippi Pageant which is part of the Miss America Pageant Organization. Her interests include everything from yoga to gardening. Many of her oil paintings and water-colors are framed and hang in her home along with her collection of antique music boxes and collector’s plates. You may even find her on horseback riding along side her granddaughters. Her church work at Temple Baptist Church in Hattiesburg is very important to her and her husband, Kermit. Since Kermit has been moved to a VA Nursing Home, she spends many hours as a volunteer at the home whenever possible…even bringing the family pet, Prissy, who has now become a therapy dog. Betty has 2 children and 2 step-children; 5 grandchildren and 6 step-grandchildren; and 1 great grandchild. She is truly a southern girl…living in numerous southern states…Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, and finally Mississippi.

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.
