April 18, 2019 – Juanelle Mann, reigning
Miss Senior Care Center-St. Marys 2019, competed in the 2019 Ms. Georgia Health Care Association Pageant
on April 6, 2019. The event was held at Emory Conference Center Hotel
in Atlanta, Ga. Of the 18 semi-finalists who competed, Mann earned fourth
runner up.
Prior to the on-stage portion of the pageant, each contestant was interviewed
privately by a panel of judges to determine the five finalists. Mann continued
onto the final round where she was escorted on stage by a member of the
Marine Corps League, and her bio was read as she posed in front of the
judges. The final round questions were unique for each finalist and asked
while the contestants were on stage.
Mann was asked what advice she would give to younger generations. She expressed
her motto of, “treating others better than you want to be treated.
Be trustworthy, take time for family, work hard at something, and learn
how to enjoy life.” She also talked about how, “It’s
important to have a relationship with God. Attend church even when you
might not feel like it, because afterward you’ll most likely feel
better.”
When asked what activities she participates in at the
Senior Care Center-St. Marys, she said, “Like most people, I like Bingo. A group of us like to
color. I was a florist during my career, so I help with flower arrangements,
as well. I visit and check on other residents and my roommate. I’m
also very involved in the Resident Council. I really like the facility,
and the staff take good care of us. I enjoy the activities they offer,
especially this pageant!”
Mann qualified as an entrant for the Ms. Georgia Health Care Association
Pageant after winning the annual Ms. Senior Care Center-St. Marys pageant
on March 5, 2019. To crown a winner at the
Senior Care Center-St. Marys pageant, judges awarded points on the contestants’ overall appearance, personality,
and attitude towards life, as well as responses to questions about their
life’s special moments and who they admired most. Originally from
Waycross, Ga., Mann’s hobbies include painting and embroidery.
