House Resolution 60
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING AND COMMENDING MRS. GRAYSON GREEN MCNEIL FOR REPRESENTING THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI AT MRS. AMERICA 2021, AND FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AS MRS. MISSISSIPPI 2021.
WHEREAS, Mrs. Grayson Green McNeil, Mrs. Mississippi 2021, represented the State of Mississippi with both grace and glamour while competing at Mrs. America 2021, a truly wonderful accomplishment; and
WHEREAS, born and raised in Mississippi, Mrs. McNeil is a graduate of Mize High School in Mize, Mississippi, and received full scholarships to Pearl River Community College, where she received an associate's degree, and then she completed the cosmetology program at Jones College in 2020, and is now employed as a board-certified cosmetologist at The Hair Bar in Magee, Mississippi, where she specializes in pageant, prom and wedding events; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. McNeil is the wife of Mr. Colton McNeil, and they have made their home on a large family farm in Pineville, Mississippi, near Raleigh, Mississippi, and when she is not working or helping on the farm, she loves to be surrounded by family and friends that help keep her faith strong and life happy; and
WHEREAS, with a tremendous passion for women's health and infertility, for her platform, Mrs. McNeil chose "Babes Support Babes", and as she has had significant issues in the past, it is her prayer that she can be a voice for women; and
WHEREAS, throughout her reign as Mrs. Mississippi, Mrs. McNeil has been working with various clinics to reach women across Mississippi to offer support and encouragement, and she believes that with faith and compassion we can all make a difference in someone's life; and
WHEREAS, in November 2021, Mrs. McNeil, along with 49 other women from across the country, took the stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, and competed for the title of Mrs. America on the same stage where Elvis Presley once performed; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. McNeil's motto is "If you are going to rise, you might as well shine", and she certainly shone bright on stage and shared some Mississippi hospitality with the other contestants, and although she did not bring home the title of Mrs. America, she spent two weeks meeting new friends, making amazing memories and enjoying many exciting adventures while in Las Vegas; and
WHEREAS, Mississippi is known for its southern charm and hospitality, and it has been Mrs. McNeil's mission to allow that to shine through her during her reign as Mrs. Mississippi, and fulfilling her dream to represent our state as Mrs. Mississippi would not have been possible without the encouragement from family and friends and the support from her many sponsors across the state; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize outstanding Mississippians, especially those such as Mrs. McNeil, whose outstanding service and dedication to the citizens of the Magnolia State bring honor to her community and to the great State of Mississippi:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby recognize and commend Mrs. Grayson Green McNeil for representing the State of Mississippi at Mrs. America 2021, and for her exceptional service as Mrs. Mississippi 2021.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to Mrs. Grayson Green McNeil and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.
