Nancy Lee Cowain
December 12, 1929 — August 6, 2020
Nancy Lee (Hough) Cowain was born on December 12, 1929 in Baltimore, Maryland to the late Emily (James) Hough and Harry Edgar Hough, Jr. She went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 6th 2020 at the age of 90 surrounded by her family.
Nancy grew up in the Baltimore area and graduated from Catonsville High School in Catonsville, Maryland in 1947. She met her husband, Dick Cowain, while he was serving in the US Army and stationed at Fort Mead, Maryland. They married in June of 1961 in Halethorpe, Maryland. They welcomed their first son, Robert (Bob), into their family in May of 1962. They welcomed their second son, Ronald (Ron), into their family in February 1964.
Nancy worked for Kaiser Aluminum for many years in Halethorpe, Maryland and later in Sherman, Texas. Nancy worked for Texas Instruments in Richardson, Texas from 1979-1987. She continued to work outside the home until finally retiring in 1998.
After retirement, Nancy and Dick moved to Palm City, Florida, in 1998, where they enjoyed being together near the ocean.
In 2003, they returned to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area so they could be closer to their sons when Dick’s health began to decline.
Dick passed away in March of 2004. After Dick’s passing, Nancy became a volunteer at Harris HEB Hospital in Bedford, Texas, as a “pink lady”.
Nancy joined Martin United Methodist Church in Bedford in 2005 where she became active in Sunday School and other activities of the church. In recent years, she became the seamstress for the church’s clothes closet called the Beacon House, mending and repairing the donated articles of clothing.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Donald James Hough, and her husband, William Richard Cowain in 2004.
She is survived by her loving sons, Robert Cowain and wife, Nanette of Bedford, Texas and Ronald Cowain also of Bedford, Texas; sisters, Penny Klatt of Canal Winchester, Ohio, and Priscilla Byrd of New Castle, Indiana; one brother, Harry Edgar Hough, III and wife, Bertie, of Dade City, Florida; three grandchildren, Sharon Kramer, and husband Chris, of Hurst, Texas, Aylor Rix of Flower Mound, Texas, and Carter Rix of Ft Worth, Texas.
