Betty Andujar
FORT WORTH -- Betty Andujar, 84, who made political history here when she was elected the first woman and first Republican since Reconstruction to the Texas Senate, died Sunday, June 8, 1997, in her sleep.

Memorial service: 1 p.m. Saturday at First Presbyterian Church. Private burial: State Cemetery in Austin.

Memorials: Salvation Army, 1955 E. Lancaster; The Women's Center, 1723 Hemphill; Presbyterian Night Shelter, 2400 Cypress; or a charity of choice.

Betty Andujar was the wife of retired pathologist Dr. John J. Andujar, former president of the World Association of Pathology Societies. They had been married 62 years.

Mrs. Andujar was born Nov. 6, 1912, in Harrisburg, Pa., where her father was chief justice of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She was a graduate of Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pa. She came to Texas in 1937 when Dr. Andujar was appointed laboratory director at Harris Hospital.

Mrs. Andujar was elected to the Senate in 1972 and served until a heart attack forced her retirement in 1982. With her husband, she continued to be active in Republican politics and medical associations until a few weeks before her death.

The late senator had many firsts to her credit. She was the first Republican to occupy the Governor's Chair since the days of the carpetbaggers after the Civil War. Elected president pro tempore of the Senate, she acted as governor when Gov. Dolph Briscoe and Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby were out of Austin at the same time. She was also the first senator to have a husband, the others having been spinsters or widows. With the Senate Wives Club closed to him, Dr. Andujar established and served as the president and only member of the Senate Husbands Club.

In 1996 she was the first layperson to receive the Citation of Merit Award from the Texas Society of Pathologists. The award honored her for legislation she carried during her three terms in the Senate. One bill established today's medical examiner system, putting a qualified patholgist in charge instead of a justice of the peace serving as coroner. Campaigning for its passage, her husband said the coroner system in use then was so inefficient that "it is easier to kill a Texan than to steal his horse."

For her successful efforts to permit doctors to remove corneas, she was honored by the Lions Club. She also was honored for carrying bills to help women collect child support.

In 1992 she became the first physician's wife to have her portrait hung in the Texas Medical Association headquarters in Austin -- a tribute to the Andujar partnership of physician and politician.

She was a delegate to GOP national conventions in 1972 and 1976 and served as Republican national committeewoman for Texas.

The Andujars' early leadership of the Republican Party here caused one politician to quip: "They have made being a Republican respectable in Texas." Many credit them with the Republican sweep of the courthouse where almost every elected office is now held by Republicans.

Together, the Andujars in 1988 established the first permanent chair of pathology at Southwestern Medical Center. She was active in the Texas and Tarrant County Medical Association auxiliaries and founded and served as first president of the auxiliary to the international pathology association.

She served on the boards of the Medical College of Pennsylvania, Texas Rape Prevention and Control Project, National Order of Women Legislators, Association for the Prevention of Blindness and the Tarrant Unit of the American Cancer Society.

Among her many honors, she was named a Newsmaker by the Headliners Club of Fort Worth and the Zonta Club's Woman of the Year. She was a past president of Club Fidelite of the Woman's Club of Fort Worth.

Survivors: Besides her husband, Mrs. Andujar is survived by two daughters, Linda Lee Andujar of Irving and Betty Jo Andujar of Arlington; three grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Dr. Lisa Meyer, at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, is a pathologist like her grandfather and, having recently completed her residency, begins a fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. She and her brother, Michael of Euless, a pilot with Conquest Airlines, are the children of Linda Lee Andujar. Tracy Lee Elmore of San Antonio, daughter of Betty Jo Andujar, and her husband Neil are parents of the four great-grandchildren.
