"Captivating the Crowns: Maria Stevens' Journey through Pageants" Maria Stevens, a name that resonates with beauty and grace, has left an indelible mark on the world of pageantry. Hailing from Edgbaston, this 21-year-old beauty queen has captivated hearts and minds alike with her radiant smile and undeniable charm. Crowned Miss Aston Villa, Maria's reign as the reigning beauty queen brought pride to her hometown. Her regal presence was reminiscent of a portrait depicting King George V riding majestically on his horse – a symbol of strength and elegance. But Maria's journey didn't stop there. She continued to conquer new heights by being crowned Miss Sandwell by last year's winner, Debby Tarrant. The torch had been passed onto Maria, who embraced her role with utmost dedication. Intriguingly enough, not all they were about glitz and glamour. The Rebecca Riots Pageant showcased another side of Maria's versatility as she portrayed the toll gate keeper – a character steeped in history and rebellion. Love also found its way into Maria's life amidst the whirlwind of pageantry when she married Michael Humpherston at Birmingham Registry Office. A true testament to love transcending boundaries, their union became an inspiration for many aspiring queens. At just 18 years old, Maria found herself swept off her feet by a group of Blues – perhaps not in the traditional sense but rather through their unwavering support during her journey towards success. Their camaraderie fueled her determination to shine brighter than ever before. As time went on, age only added more wisdom and poise to this remarkable young woman. At 19 years old on January 29th, 1982 - she stood tall as an embodiment of grace personified. The crown seemed like second nature for our beloved Beauty Queen as she reigned supreme as Miss Liberty in March 4th, 1986.
