*Belated sympathy to the family of former Miss Madison 1969, Betsy Jane Bennett Schulte who passed away at age 76 on August 24, 2024 in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee native later attended UW-Madison when she became a contestant in the Miss Madison pageant which her victory advanced her to the 1969 Miss Wisconsin pageant in Oshkosh. While she did not place among the top ten, Besty was voted as Miss Congeniality among the 40 contestants (one of the largest assembly of contestants in state pageant history, shown here) which included eventual winner Miss Janesville, Cynthia Morgan:

Betsy successfully ran for a Town of Windsor board seat in 1986, subsequently serving six years, and she was later instrumental in creating a lake district for Lake Windsor which helped to save the lake in Dane County.
