Saturday evening, April 19, 2025, the stage at Wendy Williamson Auditorium in Anchorage was packed with friends and family, as women from across Alaska competed for the title of Mrs. Alaska America, Miss Alaska For America Strong & Mrs. Alaska AmeriCAN. The ultimate titles for Alaska America 2025 went to:
 

Our newly crowned MRS. ALASKA AMERICA is LOLLY HALE.

Lolly resides in Palmer along with her husband Joseph of 19 years. She is a homemaker, business owner, and educator. She manages their family Air B&B business and feels blessed to have the time and resources to give their 6 boys a personalized home school education, influenced by the values she and her husband hold dear. She loves listening to personal development books, spending quality time with her boys, working out at the gym and teaching local dance classes. Together with her family, Lolly enjoys hunting, fishing, snow machining, traveling, and exploring new opportunities.
 

Our new MISS ALASKA AMERICA STRONG is RYLIE PURDY.

Rylie lives in Eagle River and says her best friend, Collin, inspires her. Not only does she always strive to be better than she was the day before but also accepts and welcomes new challenges with ease. She has learned that with strength, persistence, discipline, and patience anyone can succeed and accomplish anything handed to her. Through these characteristics, she has learned to apply and enrich them on her journey.
 

Our newly crowned MRS. ALASKA AMERICAN is SAENG YABUT.

Saeng lives in Anchorage along with her husband Arwin of 21 years. She is the Director of Operations for TriWest Healthcare Alliance, proudly serving Alaska’s military and veteran communities, a role close to her heart as the spouse of an Army veteran. She is the first in her family to earn a master’s degree in project management and a bachelor’s degree in Global Logistics Management. Saeng steps forward as a woman of strength who is committed to uplifting others and proving that anything is possible. Her motto is to try anything once, if it doesn’t bite back!

 

They will be on their way to the Mrs. America Pageant, Mrs. American, and Miss for America Strong Pageant at the annual National Competition in August in Las Vegas. Additionally, they will be making personal appearances throughout Alaska during her year’s reign.
