Lou Hancock grew up in north Texas from Fort Worth to Nocona. Lou devoted her early life to becoming an artist and was an accomplished portrait painter. A few of her excellent canvasses survive.

She traveled around the world and married the man next door, W. B. Hancock, DVM and reared seven children in Texas. During that time she acted in numerous off Broadway and summer stock plays at Casa Manana Theater in Fort Worth, Texas where she eventually became an associate producer.
