ARLEE – In a remarkable achievement that transcends age and celebrates empowerment, Estela Fullerton, a resident of Arlee, Montana, has been crowned Mrs. Grand International 2024 at the prestigious competition held in Myanmar from Nov. 23-28, 2024. From her humble beginnings as a rancher’s wife of Mr.Hal Fullerton and dedicated homemaker, Estela, has transformed her passion into a powerful platform for advocacy, showcasing that beauty is not merely skin deep but rooted in purpose and compassion. 

Mrs. Grand International is not just a beauty pageant; it is a celebration of grace, empowerment, and a commitment to making a difference in the world. Estela entered the competition with a mission: to raise awareness about the importance of education for underprivileged children and to empower women in need. “At 61 years old, I believe that age is just a number. It doesn’t define us; rather, it is our actions and our desire to uplift others that truly matter,” she stated during her acceptance speech. 

Representing Mrs. Grand USA Royal, Estela Fullerton proudly donned a stunning national costume named “Liberty,” embodying the spirit of freedom and strength that resonates with her advocacy work. Her efforts did not go unnoticed, as she was awarded the title of Mrs. Popularity before being crowned as the overall winner, Mrs. Grand International 2024. 

As the reigning queen, Estela is excited to take on the role of ambassador for Mrs. Grand International, aiming to further her advocacy and inspire others to join the cause. “I am deeply honored to be recognized on both national and international platforms. This title provides me with an incredible opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it most,” she expressed. 

Estela extends her heartfelt gratitude to her family, friends, and supporters who have been instrumental in her journey. “Your unwavering support has fueled my passion and determination to succeed not just for myself, but for the causes I stand for,” she said. 

As a proud Filipino-American who has resided in Montana for 22 years, Estela, hopes to inspire individuals of all ages to pursue their dreams and advocate for meaningful causes. Her journey serves as a testament that it’s never too late to make a difference and that every individual has the power to create change.
