MISS CHARLOTTE'S BIO:
HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE. THE HOME OF THE AMERICA'S DIXIE DIAMONDS PAGEANT SYSTEM. I AM CHARLOTTE BENTON. YOUR NATIONAL DIRECTOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF.
I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO WILLIE BENTON FOR 44 YEARS AND I LIVE IN BRISTOL, TN. I HAVE LIVED IN BRISTOL FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND I LOVE IT HERE! I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS WHO COMPETED IN PAGEANTS SINCE THEY WERE OF A VERY YOUNG AGE. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PAGEANTRY FOR OVER 38 WONDERFUL YEARS. MY HUSBAND WILLIE HAS BEEN EMPLOYED WITH OVERNITE FOR OVER 42 YEARS. I HAVE 3 HANDSOME GRANDSONS AND ONE BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER. I HAVE A DEGREE IN NURSING (RN) AND WORK IN WMHS HERE IN BRISTOL. MY FAMILY AND I ARE MEMBERS OF PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCH WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVE FOR MANY YEARS. MY HUSBAND IS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OUR CHURCH AND HE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE PIONEER CLUB FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. I ALSO PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLL WITH THE CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES IN OUR CHURCH WHICH I REALLY ENJOY! THE CHILDREN ARE SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS AND I ENJOY HELPING WITH ALL AGES. OUR CHURCH CONGREGATION READILY SENDS MUCH NEEDED ITEMS TO THE SOLDIERS IN IRAQ SUCH AS; PHONE CARDS, HEALTH ITEMS, AND OTHER ITEMS. WE ALSO HELP WITH THEIR FAMILY NEEDS. LOCAL FAMILIES HAVE RELIED ON OUR CHURCH PARISHIONERS TO PROVIDE AID AND ASSISTANCE WHEN NEEDED AND WE DO THIS WITH OUR HEART AND SOUL.
MY FAMILY AND I ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST. WHEN I START EACH OF MY PAGEANTS, IT IS STARTED WITH A PRAYER TO THANK OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR OUR CONTESTANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. I ASK HIM TO PROTECT THEM IN THEIR LIFE AND TRAVELS. TO OUR FAMILY WE OWE EVERYTHING TO OUR LORD JESUS, WE CAN NEVER REPAY HIM FOR ALL HE HAS AND IS DOING FOR US. IT IS SO GREAT TOO SEE ALL MY FRIENDS AT PAGEANTS AND I WISH EACH CONTESTANT COULD BE CROWNED QUEEN. JUST KNOW THAT EACH CONTESTANT THAT LEAVES MY PAGEANT WILL FEEL LIKE A WINNER REGARDLESS IF SHE IS WEARING THE CROWN. IT TAKES A TRUE WINNER TO GRACE THE STAGE AND I WISH EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN MY PAGEANT AND ANY PAGEANT THAT YOU COMPETE IN. MAY GOD BLESS EACH ONE WHO READS THIS. WE LOVE YOU ALL,
CHARLOTTE BENTON & FAMILY |
