On January 31, 1970, when she was 19 years old, Lovell left California for Houston with "three suitcases and 35 dollars." Lovell's first job in Houston was at Riviana Food, where she first learned how to operate a printing press. In 1975, Lovell bought Long Point Printing & Rubber Stamp in Spring Branch, Texas, assuming the company's $35,000 debt. She worked at Academy Sports and Outdoors to supplement her income and help pay off the debt.〔 She later sold the company to one of her first employees. Following the sale of her printing company, Lovell worked at Federal Express. From 1994 to 1999, Lovell worked in the office of the Texas Comptroller in the Local Government Assistance Division. In 1999, she worked for the Mills Corporation, where she created and implemented a job training and welfare-to-work program that later became the MATCH program (Mills Access to Training and Career Help).〔 Lovell currently lives in Houston with her two children and her partner. As of 2007 she lived in the Montrose area, near Ervan Chew Park. She served as the president of the Friends of Ervan Chew Park.〔Gustin, Marene. "(Is Ervan Chew Park safe? )" ((Archive )).
