She was born July 30, 1918 in Dallas, Texas. Her parents were Clarence Marion Cockrell, Sr. and Alice Naomi Mounts Cockrell. The Cockrell's are descendants of Dallas'
founding family, Alexander (Texas Ranger) and Sarah Horton Cockrell (1st millionarie woman) and the LaReunion Colony (a group of French people who inhabited Texas). Raised in a family of six siblings on Gaston Ave., there was never a dull moment.
She loved attending Kanakuk Kamp in Branson, Missouri as a young girl. Upon graduation from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1936, she attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she also pledged Tri-Delt. It was the depression and her parents sadly told her they already
