Mary Elizabeth Holdsworth Butt (1903–1993) was a prominent Texas philanthropist and wife of HEB Grocery Company founder Howard Edward Butt Sr. Her philanthropic efforts were particularly focused on the care of emotionally disturbed children and the development of library services. ==Early life== Mary Elizabeth Holdsworth Butt was born on February 4, 1903 near Loma Vista, Texas, the daughter of Rosa (née Ross) and Thomas Holdsworth. She was the fourth of seven children. Her father, the son of an English schoolteacher, emigrated from England to Texas with his parents in 1880. Her mother was a schoolteacher who grew up and worked in Kerrville, Texas.〔(Texas State Historical Association: "BUTT, MARY ELIZABETH HOLDSWORTH" ) retrieved October 29, 2012〕 Both her parents were devout, tithing Baptists.〔(The Foundations of Texan Philanthropy By Mary L. Kelley )〕 In 1924, she married Howard Edward Butt. Howard owned a small grocery store in Kerrville. Over time, her husband’s business prospered and expanded, enabling Mary Elizabeth to take an active role in supporting numerous and varied charitable causes. Her husband stated: "I make the money, and Mary spends it (on worthy causes). And I am glad she does."〔 In 1940, they moved to Corpus Christi, Texas.〔
