Utley's Miss USA win was the first (and only, as of 2009) for Arkansas. After she won the title, no women from Arkansas placed in the pageant until Jessica Furrer's semi-finalist placement in 2005. Both women are members of Alpha Sigma Tau.
Utley was also the first Miss Arkansas USA to hail from Cabot, and the only winner until Kimberly Forsyth of the same town won the title in 2006
Now Terri Amos, she left the entertainment industry to spend time with her husband and family, which included three young children. Her life was adversely affected by the death of her father, which led her to confront the anger issues which she claims affected her role as a wife and mother. She became involved in traditional healing, and studied energetic healing, meditation, and spiritual consulting in Santa Monica, California. Amos currently works as a spiritual coach and motivational speaker in Destin, Florida.
