Young Benton Mom Crowned America's Mrs. U.S. - WestKentuckyStar.com 1 hour ago
 Stephanie Youngblood, a resident of Benton, KY was recently crowned America's Mrs. U.S. this past July in Vicksburg, MS. The competition consisted of interview, casual attire, and evening gown. She won each category including the national title.
Stephanie is married to Donnie Youngblood and has two sons. She is the daughter of Mitch and Sharon Jameson of Mayfield, Kentucky. She is currently employed by the Marshall County School System as a substitute teacher while attending college.
She is a senior at Murray State University where she is majoring in Middle School Education and Learning and Behavior Disorders. She will graduate in May 2011 and will pursue her master's degree in school administration. Stephanie feels that attending college as a non-traditional student has been one of the biggest challenges she has faced. She knows that without determination and support of others it would virtually be impossible. Because of her experience, she is an advocate for higher education regardless of circumstances.
Pageants are only one of her many hobbies. She enjoys the friendships and opportunities that pageants offer and feels that pageants are a means of focus and self evaluation because it truly encourages you to find your strengths and weaknesses. Mrs. Youngblood regrets the stereotype that pageants have received. Through past experience she believes that if you find the right pageant system and an organization with sincere directors you can find a lot of fun. There are opportunities for community service and public speaking as well as scholarships that can be received. The experiences are what you make them.
Mrs. Youngblood's community activities include teaching Sunday School and serving as the Youth Leader at Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church in Benton, Kentucky where she and her family have been members for five years.
She volunteers for various charities and organizations in her community and throughout the Commonwealth, including the Dream Factory of Paducah and Louisville, Kosairs Childrens Hospital, the Salvation Army, and recently was involved in the "Sock It To Me" Fundraiser at the Wayside Mission in Louisville, Kentucky.
