Miss Bahamas Organization

Join us for a wonderful praise and worship experience as we ring in the New Year!

The pageant community in The Bahamas laid to rest one of its own today. William "Reggie" Deveaux was the founder and director of Miss Cultural Bahamas; a District Director for the Miss Bahamas Organization (Paradise Island); a pageant coach; and a judge for many pageant systems throughout the country.

It was pageantry that brought us together. However, our friendship transcended just sashes and crowns. Over the years he grew to become my confidante, fierce defender, travel mate, and brother from another mother. Through the laughter and tears, good times and bad, he showed himself to be a true friend.

Reggie touched many people from all walks of life during his time here on earth, which was indicative of the full house in St. Agnes Church today. He was many things to many people, and everyone who knew him had their own Reggie story. And yet, there was only one Reggie. I do believe the good Lord broke the mold when he made him. He will be sorely missed.

On behalf of the Miss Bahamas Organization, heartfelt condolences are extended to his family and all those who knew and loved him. Reggie is resting in Paradise, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that we will see him again on the other side of eternity.

Rest well, my friend.

Former Beauty Queen Anva Roberts Dies Suddenly in Bimini
MBO mourns the passing of one of the 2007 Miss Bahamas World “Fabulous 15” Contestants
Nassau, Bahamas— January 10, 2024 — The Miss Bahamas Organization® wishes to express condolences on the sudden passing of Anva Roberts, a native of Bimini and former contestant of the Miss Bahamas World Beauty Pageant. Anva passed away this morning at her home in Bimini. A health and wellness advocate, she had just returned home from her morning run when the unthinkable occurred.

An exceptional beauty both inside and out, Anva was one of the “Fabulous Fifteen” contestants who competed for the prestigious title of Miss Bahamas World back in 2007. Entered as Miss Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas, her stunning looks, humble persona, and “Island Gal” innocence propelled her to a Top 10 placement. MBO President Michelle Malcolm expressed shock at the news of her untimely passing.

"Her passing comes as a tremendous shock to this organization and to the MBO class of 2007. Anva was the epitome of what MBO stands for. As a contestant, she represented what it means to be beautiful inside and out. She continued to live by the organization's motto of "beauty with a purpose" years after competing, working throughout the Bimini community, promoting healthy living and a commitment to building her island. Our condolences to her family and the close-knit community of Bimini who are mourning her loss."
~ Michelle Malcolm, MBO President
