Thelma Loyace Hawkins Stovall (April 1, 1919 - February 4, 1994) was a pioneering female Southern politician who won several statewide elective offices in Kentucky, capping her career as the 47th Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky (1975–1979) under the administration of her fellow Democrat, Governor Julian Carroll.
==Background==
Stovall was born in Munfordville, Kentucky. She moved with her mother and little sister to Louisville when she was eight years old.
At the age of 15, she started working for the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Corporation to support her family during the Great Depression. She became involved in union politics in young adulthood and remained close to Kentucky labor unions throughout her career. She was elected secretary of the Tobacco Workers International Union, Local 185, and held that position for eleven years. She graduated from Louisville Girls' High School; studied law at LaSalle Extension University in Chicago and attended summer school at the University of Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky University, earning her degree from La Salle Extension University.〔Kleber, John E., ed.

In 1936 she married Lonnie Raymond Stovall. She was a national committee member for the Young Democrats of Kentucky from 1952 to 1956 and served as the organization's first woman president from 1956 to 1958.
