16-year-old Summer Foley won Miss Seabreeze 2014, continuing her family’s legacy.
When Gwen Foley won the title of Miss Seabreeze in 1953, she was in awe. Little did she know that her future granddaughters would continue to carry that prominent title with their family name.
“I was very proud and happy,” Gwen Foley, 76, said. She won the contest with a pantomime performance. “It kind of represents the school. That’s the way I always felt about it.”
In 2004 Meagan Foley was crowned Miss Seabreeze by dancing ballet. She said her supportive family really encouraged her to perform.
“I just wanted to do the best I could possibly do,” Meagan Foley said. “It’s a trait my mom raised me with. You can never be too competitive with anyone else. You should learn from others.”
Megan Foley, 27, now works for a talent agency in California and was excited when she found out her little sister Summer Foley, 16, was crowned Miss Seabreeze 2014.
“It makes me feel great that I won,” Summer Foley said. “If I didn’t win it would be a little embarrassing. My sister and my grandma won so it kinda makes me feel like I carry on legacy. It’s traditional.”
Summer Foley won by singing an Italian opera song, which was surprising to her because she didn’t think it was the most popular choice.
“I was really excited and also surprised,” Summer Foley said. “I didn’t think anyone at my school would know Italian. But I want to be a strong role model. We are representing the school.”
Summer Foley plans to pursue a career in broadway theatre or opera.
