A packed house at London Bridge Resort Convention Center celebrated a newly minted Ms. Havasu Senior Sunday.

The annual event benefits the Havasu Health Foundation and judging from the turnout Sunday, the foundation is in good hands.

Anne Archer claimed the crown this year after coming in as runner up last year.

Archer, from Minnesota, enjoyed a 33-year nursing career and she and her husband relocated to Lake Havasu City in 2007.

As a volunteer for many organizations in Lake Havasu City, Archer said she would donate her $1,000 winning award to the American Legion Auxiliary 81.

Marilyn Davis was the 2017 runner up.

The contestants include Archer and Davis, along with Maria Rhodes, Donna Jones, Toni Bonetti, Dian Gibson, Mary Elizabeth O’Sullivan Kennedy, Karen Fresh and Jennie Tunnell.
