This is an all-new hide honoring the memory of a woman who was a devoted worker in community affairs in Garland. Lula (Lou) Huff adminstered help to the poor and on holidays was known to prepare and distribute food to the elderly and less fortunate.
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 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.
The City has just completed a brand new playground here for the kids. We wanted to Velcro a keyholder on the bottom of the slide, but decided that wasn't a good idea. You're looking for a matchstick holder.
