Kelly Jones Carr (born 1976/1977) is an American educator and beauty pageant titleholder from Birmingham, Alabama, who was named Miss Alabama 2001.

Career

In high school, Jones was a contestant in Mississippi's Junior Miss.[2] In 1998, she was crowned Miss Lake Wedowee and placed at Miss Alabama that year.[2] While a senior at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, Jones won the title of Miss Samford 1999.[2] The next year she was crowned Miss Jefferson County 2000.[5]

Jones was selected as Miss Homewood Area 2001 then, in early 2001, Jones was diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome, a potentially fatal illness caused by a bacterial toxin.[6][7] The antibiotic treatment for this caused her most of her hair to fall out just two months before the Miss Alabama pageant in June.[6][9]

Jones' preliminary competition talent for Miss Alabama was playing classical piano.[10] Her platform was "Boys and Girls Clubs: Be a Peer Role Model".[9][12] Jones won the state competition on Saturday, June 16, 2001, when she received her crown from outgoing Miss Alabama titleholder Jana Sanderson.[6][9] After winning, Jones announced she would use the scholarship money to pursue a graduate degree in music education.[9] As Miss Alabama, her activities included public appearances across the state of Alabama.[16]

Jones was Alabama's representative at the Miss America 2002 pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[17] Her competition talent was a classical piano performance of Frédéric Chopin's "Ballade No. 1 in G Minor".[12][17] Jones was not one of the finalists for the Miss America title. Her reign as Miss Alabama continued until Scarlotte Deupree was crowned on June 15, 2002.[21]

Personal life

Jones is a Birmingham, Alabama, native and spent part of her high school years at Mountain Brook High School. She is a 1995 graduate of Lamar High School in Meridian, Mississippi.[10] Majoring in piano performance, Jones graduated from Samford University with a bachelor's degree in December 1999.[2][10] While at Samford, she was inducted into the Kappa Chapter of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.[1] She then enrolled in a graduate program at The University of Alabama studying music education.[12]

Before becoming Miss Alabama in 2001, Jones worked as a fragrance model, a waitress, and a piano teacher.[17] After graduating, she owned and operated a music academy in Augusta, Georgia.[28] In 2008, she was hired as the administrator for the Gadsden Community School for the Arts in Gadsden, Alabama.[28]

Her parents are Jerry Wilson Jones and Cynthia Perkins Jones.[10] During her reign as Miss Alabama, her father worked for a department store and her mother was a homemaker.[17] She is an only child.[7] Jones was raised Southern Baptist.[7] On August 9, 2003, she married Benjamin Matthew Carr.[2] Her wedding was featured in the 2004 edition of Alabama Weddings.[35]
