As part of her recognition, actor and philanthropist Paul Neuman’s Neuman’s Own Foundation, donated $10,000 to the Port Arthur Junior Bees, a youth football organization which Small’s own children participated in and which she gives countless volunteer hours to.

NEW: Soundshow and story — No ‘Small’ honor for PA volunteer

By Amy Moore
The Port Arthur News

Mayor Deloris “Bobbie” Prince said Port Arthur was a better place because of Small and the entire city owes her so much.

“Not just in this community, though — Ms. Fab is nationwide,” Prince said pointing to the cover of USA Weekend Magazine featuring a photo of Small. “Some people have waited 200 years to be a pin-up girl and there’s Fab right there with no exercise or nothing.”

In addition to the recognition from USA Weekend, Small was presented with a flag from Rep. Joe Deshotel that was flown over the state capital in her honor.

“It does not take an education through a college to do good for God’s people. You don’t have to have your verbs and your nouns all together,” she said. “You have to have the desire to bring the love out of you that Christ has in us. There is so much hatred in the world among people because they are forgetting what we’re here to do. We are here to serve. The Lord blesses you to bless somebody else. God says he’s going to take care of you and he will.”

The USA Weekend Magazine featuring Small will be available in Sunday’s edition of The News.
