Lucille G. Murchison

Dallas Cowboys Co-Owner

Lucille G. "Lupe" Murchison, 75, an arts patron who shared ownership of the Dallas Cowboys with her brother-in-law, Clint Murchison Jr., died of cancer July 3 in Dallas.

She became co-owner of the team after the death of her husband, John Murchison, in 1979. The team was sold to H.R. "Bum" Bright in 1984.

She served on boards of the Dallas Museum of Art and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, N.M., and was an honorary consul general of Nepal from 1982 to 1990.
