	Alabama Governor Lurleen Wallace
		Lurleen Burns Wallace was born on September 19, 1926, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to Henry and Estelle Burroughs Burns.
		Lurleen was inaugurated on January 16, 1967, and refused to have the customary inaugural ball out of respect to Alabamians serving in Vietnam.
		Wallace was hospitalized in Houston, Texas, where doctors discovered the cancer for which she had been treated in 1966 had returned.

		When Wallace was elected state representative, they rented a room at a boardinghouse in Montgomery for the legislative session and lived in garage apartments in the small town of Clayton during the rest of the year where Wallace had a law office.
		Lurleen became Alabama’s first lady in 1963, and as her husband achieved political success, she finally received some help taking care of the children, and with the governor’s mansion, had a palace for a home.
		Wallace had not wanted to upset Lurleen and it was common practice for a doctor to follow the husband’s lead about whether or not to inform the wife.
