Tower, Lou Bullington
81, died Monday, August 6, 2001,
with her daughters at her side at St. Paul Hospital in Dallas, Texas. Born June 4, 1920, in San Diego, California, and nicknamed "Honey," she grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas. She graduated from Wichita Falls High School in 1937 and attended Hardin Junior College prior to attending Texas State Teachers College for Women (now Texas Women's University). She graduated in 1941 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, majoring in Piano, then spent the next 10 years in Wichita Falls, teaching piano and organ and working with the Red Cross and Canteen Corps. "Honey" played for weddings and funerals, taught at Midwestern State College (now Midwestern University), became the organist at First Methodist Church and married the pastor's son, John Goodwin Tower, in March 1952. Later that year, John took a leave from his political science teaching position at Midwestern, and they moved to England where he studied at the London School of Economics. They returned to Wichita Falls in 1953, and he resumed teaching at Midwestern while she would care for three daughters born soon thereafter. In 1961, Lou helped John win a special election to the United States Senate. That victory as the first Republican elected state- wide since Reconstruction began building a two- party Texas. The couple moved to Washington, D.C., where he served 24 years in the Senate. During their time in Washington, she tended to their daughters and served in the Senate Ladies' Red Cross, the Texas Congressional Delegation Club, the International Club, and as a charming hostess in the nation's capital. One of the first wives to campaign actively in a "grassroots" manner for her husband, Lou traveled tirelessly by car, bus, airplane, and on foot across Texas and is credited as pivotal to his first reelection in 1966. Lou was preceded in death by parents Marian and Grover Bullington, sister Marian Bullington Webb, brother Grover Bullington, Jr., daughter Marion Tower, and Senator John Tower. She is survived by her daughters and sons- in-law, Penny and David Cook and Jeanne and Berry Cox and grandsons, Tower Cook and Justin and John Cox, all of Dallas.
