Lou Huff. Sounds like the name of a baseball great from days gone by, doesn't it? But Lou Huff Park, with its beautiful green area and baseball field, wasn't named after a great pitcher, shortstop or manager. It was named after a woman name Lula (Lou) Huff. Born in Lockhart, Huff moved to Garland at the age of 25. She married AJ, five years younger than her and a farm laborer, and raised three orphaned children as her own.
Huff was a devoted worker in community affairs. Lou adminstered help to the poor and on holidays was known to prepare and distribute food to the elderly and less fortunate.
Huff was considered by those who knew her to be a patient and wise counselor to individuals, regardless of her own financial and health status. She was among the organizers of the Civic-etts Club of Garland, serving as parliamentarian, chaplain, and advisor. She served two terms as president of the George Washington Carver High School PTA. She was also an Order of the Eastern Star Lodge.
Huff died at home at the age of 63 from a sudden heart attack and is buried at Lincoln Memorial Park in Dallas. She was a great asset to the Garland community.
