Becky Marshall Wins Beauty Contest Amid Church Disapproval
Becky Marshall, 17, won the Spirit of America Festival beauty contest in Decatur with a $500 prize, while elders at her father Rev Charles Marshall’s church, West Hobbs Street Church of Christ, urged his resignation. The case sparked a petition from some congregants, though Marshall said the church and congregation had approved her entry. Becky appeared in a one piece swimsuit and earned Miss Photogenic alongside the crown. She has been a drum major and beauty queen at Athens High School, with multiple honors in past years.
