HALL OF FAME 1994 Elizabeth McDowell Lewis prefers a low profile but is well known for her generosity to her community, church, and to Marshall University, where she endowed the Elizabeth McDowell Lewis distinguished chair. She was raised in Huntington and attended Marshall College, where she graduated in 1931. After graduation, she returned to Fayette County, where she was born, and began teaching commercial subjects at Oak Hill High School. In 1934 she married a local businessman by the name of J. Edward Lewis, Jr. She stopped teaching in 1941, but continued to serve the youth as a member of the Recreation Commission, City of Oak Hill, and chaired the Oak Hill Civic League's Dollars for Scholars Drive. She is a member of the board of directors of New River Bank and the Fayette County Public Library, and a Trustee and Finance Committee member of Oak Hill United Methodist Church. She has been named Lion's Lady of the year in 1988 and Beta Sigma Phi Woman of the Year. (Ms. Lewis preferred her portrait not be present.)
