The Extraordinary Life Of A 91-Year-Old Beauty Queen

In last year’s Ms. Senior America finals, Krystyna competed against 44 other state queens – and lost to a woman roughly 30 years her junior.

She handed on her Ms. Senior Connecticut crown to 2017’s queen back in May and, with her 92nd birthday approaching on 19 August, she says now may be the time to hang up her tiara for good.

“No more pageants for me,” she says.

But with nine grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and a fifth on the way, she still has plenty to keep her busy.

“Right now I’m dressed, I have earrings on – I’m always ready for something to happen,” Krystyna says.

“Sure, nothing is happening, but I’m always ready.”
