Subject: Condolences

Sympathy to the family and friends of Mary (Mary Beth) Elizabeth Dibble Haubrich, who was Miss Kenosha in 1961.

Mary Beth passed away after a month-long illness at age 82 on August 1, 2024.

While in her freshman year at UW Extension-Kenosha, she was encouraged to enter the 1961 Miss Kenosha pageant with the simple hopes of winning scholarship money for college. As her family noted in Mary Beth's obituary, "to her surprise, she won the pageant and thus entered the Miss Wisconsin pageant in June of 1961".

While they had the date of the 1961 Miss Wisconsin pageant incorrect (it was actually held on July 8, 1961 at Mary Bradford High School in Kenosha, where she was a 1960 graduate), it is true that brunette vocalist Mary Beth placed as first runner-up to Miss Eau Claire, Diane Margaret Anderson, who was crowned as Miss Wisconsin 1961 (the third of four Miss Wisconsin state winners to be crowned in Kenosha (1959-1962).

A funeral service for Mary Beth was held last Saturday afternoon (August 24th, 2024) at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
