I AM ENOUGH
Neighborhood minister talks struggles with self image
Story by ALYSSA HIGH | Photography by RAE OVERMAN
Educator. Homemaker. Pastor. Lovers Lane United Methodist Church Associate Pastor Reverend Donna Whitehead’s restlessness to learn has earned her many titles. And now she’s added published author to the list.
“Growing up, church was the center of my life. [That,] along with school, those were the two areas where almost everything happened,” Whitehead says.
Whitehead grew up in a small town in Louisiana, where her parents were teachers and church was a must.
“We all knew each other. We were all alike in the sense that we came from the same kind of economic background and cultural background, but I was loved and I belonged and I knew the church was a great place to be, so I was very blessed there,” Whitehead says. “But my mother said to me, and I didn’t understand it at first, that I was always restless when it came to learning. I was a lifelong learner.”
After graduating high school, Whitehead’s restlessness led her to leave the
small town to study secondary education at the University of North Texas.
“I have the thirst of a teacher. I love to take complicated things and make them simpler,” Whitehead says.
After three years, Whitehead became pregnant with her first child and took some time off. Not too long, though, because she again became restless to learn.
She headed to Southern Methodist University where she got a master’s of liberal arts degree. That’s also where she met Rabbi Levi Olan.
“He was so well known in Dallas, well thought of. He’s known as the conscience of Dallas because he took strong stands for justice and for doing what was right. This was right in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement. He was known for being very wise and very intelligent, very spiritual and that really appealed to me, all three of those things.” Whitehead says. “So I took his course, and in that class, he said something that I never forgot, which is ‘Truth is found in paradox.’”
For Whitehead, this was a turning point. Her life, it seemed, was full of paradoxes. And she’d been struggling with feeling like she had to choose an either/or option. Faith or science. Desire to learn or duty to family. Being strongwilled and self-defined or connecting with other people.
Armed with this idea, Whitehead became pregnant with her second child, and again, felt restless.
Whitehead looked at a catalog for the Perkins School of Theology, where a friend of hers, who aimed to become a community college chaplain, was attending.
“I knew that I wanted to go to school there, but I certainly didn’t think I was called to ministry. I had no idea even what that looked like for a woman. I’d never seen a woman preach,” she says. “But I opened up the Perkins catalog, and I thought, ‘I have to take these courses. These are the best courses I’ve ever seen.’”
Topics like the human condition, moral theology and introduction to who God is
Whitehead was one of the first women ordained as ministers in the United Methodist Church.
brought her into the university in a way she’d never studied before – all with a 3 and 6-year-old at home.
“I did not know where it was going to lead me professionally, I just knew I had to do it, and got a lot of resistance because this was unusual,” Whitehead says. “At this point, I was in the second wave of women who entered seminary, so we did a lot of sharing with one another and supporting one another. The community was fairly open to women, but it was a change.”
The next challenge came as she completed seminary, when she had to go before the United Methodist Board of Ministry and declare why she believed she was called to ministry. She struggled with having the confidence to say she had gifts, and felt it presumptuous to say she knew what God wanted for her, she says.
After talking to a friend, who told her she should feel affirmed in her abilities because of how far she’d made it, eventually Whitehead decided she’d set her sights on local churches, where she “could see God working.”
She did an internship at Highland Park United Methodist Church, and was the first woman to do so. And though she did not get a job there after her internship like the last four (male) interns before her, she did not lose faith.
She still didn’t lose faith when she lost her second job opportunity.
“I didn’t think it was just because I was a woman, but I was realizing it was different for people,” Whitehead says. “I was trying to be caring about the fact that a woman in this role was still very different for people.”
church, and he gave me the freedom to use the gifts that I had.”
Whitehead soon realized she was “a starter,” she says. She started small groups, Sunday school classes, ministry teams and infrastructure. She also gained many firsts, like becoming the first woman to serve as chair of the Plano Ministerial Alliance
“I knew that I wanted to go to school there, but I certainly didn’t think I was called to ministry. I had no idea even what that looked like for a woman. I’d never seen a woman preach.”
When a 6-month-old church in her area of Plano opened up, Whitehead finally caught a break and became the associate pastor at Custer Road United Methodist Church under the senior pastor, Reverend Mark Craig.
“He was very good at being efficient and effective and he made things happen,” she says. “I knew after working with him for one week that we were going to be a success because he was very good at a lot of things that really mattered to a local
in 1985 and the first woman to chair the Finance and Administration Team for the North Texas UMC Conference in 1988.
Fifteen years later, Craig moved to become pastor at Highland Park United Methodist Church.
“That’s what I call the end of the beginning because he and I had done everything together. We had hired a lot of part-time people, but we were very much a team
and the church had grown tremendously because we did hit the ground running,” she says. “We were in the zone.”
Paul Goodrich came to the church to be senior pastor in 1995, and though she enjoyed working with him, his laid-back energy and comfortability in the status quo brought on a familiar feeling: restlessness.
Whitehead started to become open to leaving the church she’d been at for over a decade. And in 2000, Stan Copeland came to Lovers Lane United Methodist Church.
“He was more visionary, really, than I was. He was very strong in evangelism and kind of a change-agent,” she says. “That appealed to me because I was ready for that kind of challenge again.”
At 52 years old, Whitehead started over and headed to Lovers Lane UMC, where she’s been for 24 years, helping guide the church as it has grown in size, moved off Lovers Lane, started private elementary school Wesley Prep and the 2020 merger with Walnut Hill United Methodist Church.
Though not restless in church service, Whitehead recently felt a pull for a new journey: writing a book.
“The book came out of five years of wrestling with being able to share my faith journey in such a way that other people would want to continue to go on their faith journey,” Whitehead says. “I strongly want people to get that just like we grow up physically and we grow up emotionally, hopefully we can grow up spiritually.”
I Am Enough: A Memoir for Spiritual Seekers was published on October 1 and is available on Amazon for $19.95. The book chronicles Whitehead’s life from growing up in a small town to becoming an educator, housewife and, eventually, an ordained minister. Despite all of these titles, she says, feelings of doubt and impostor syndrome continued to hold her back, leading her on a journey toward self-acceptance.
“We keep thinking that somehow we’ve got to do more and be more than we currently are and what I learned in my own journey is that it’s important to be honest and open and real and truthful about who I am, and once I’m authentic and real then I can name my flaws,” Whitehead says. “Once I can look at the things that are blocking me from connecting with God, I can feel that love and be accepted by God.”
HALF A CENTURY OLD AND THREE DECADES SERVED
NorthPark Center’s Twelve Days of Christmas Clock returns for its 33rd season
Story by ALYSSA HIGH
NORTHPARK CENTER IS HOME TO MANY HOLIDAY TRADITIONS. From rock-and-roll Santa to the Trains at NorthPark, the shopping center has many traditions almost as old as the mall itself.
One of these is the Twelve Days of Christmas Clock, which was built in the 1970s. When former U.S. President Jimmy Carter called for conservation of resources during a time of oil shortages, NorthPark founders Patsy and Raymond Nasher commissioned William “Bill” Reed to come up with holiday decorations that were a bit more creative and conservative.
Reed came up with a 28-foot music box that features animated clock towers inspired by European towers like the Rathaus-Glockenspiel in Munich. Originally recorded onto a reel-to-reel tape recorder from a Firestone promotional vinyl album, the audio was later
transferred to a cassette, then a CD, with separate tracks of musical tones triggering the animations. Now, the carols play on digital equipment, with software controlling the animation.
The clock was exhibited at NorthPark every holiday season from 1979 to 2006, and then refurbished and returned to the scene in 2018. The refurbished version was handled by theatrical lighting designer Dall Brown, who worked on the original animation and ensured that the new electronics would be more reliable and last for years to come.
This year, the clock was put up on November 29 and will stay up until January 1 on Level One in Dillard’s Court. Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 12 to 6 p.m., every 15 minutes the clock will burst into song, sharing the 12 Days of Christmas to each passerby.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
By JACK DRAKE
MAKING A MUNICIPALITY
Preston Hollow’s turbulent beginning
Story by JACK DRAKE
“In retrospect, I had the best of several worlds [growing up in Preston Hollow],” recalls Elizabeth Dickey Mills, daughter of Travis Dickey, founder of the largest barbecue franchise in the world, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. Like many families in the 1930s and ‘40s, the Dickeys decided to move from the bustling City of Dallas to tranquil, less restrictive properties of many acres in “the country.”
This idea of tranquility and separation is how Preston Hollow came into being in the first place. The area originally consisted of farmland owned by families, like the Howells/Wrights, Meaders and Livelys, who were granted the land not long after Texas obtained statehood.
Around 1910, the St. Louis and Southwestern Railway, also known as The Cotton Belt, constructed their rail corridor through the neighborhood and opened a track switching area and “flag station,” named after the Meaders family.
This added great potential to the otherwise isolated area. In addition to a new rail station that would lead commuters to Downtown Dallas, this area consisted of many brooks, spring-fed ponds, hills and large trees. These topographic features were noticed by real estate developer and business owner Ira Pleasant DeLoache in 1922 during a flight over the area. Two years later, he purchased his first 56 acres in the area with hundreds more to follow. DeLoache did not intend to use the land for farming, rather he jumped on a design trend that was sweeping the country – country estates. Acreage was subdivided into lots beginning in the
late 1920s, and the first home associated with the development was constructed in 1928, with others following in 1929 and 1930.
These early homes were smaller and sparse. The residents in the area, then informally known as The Preston Road District, fought for running water, so the Dallas County Preston Road Freshwater Supply District was created and constructed from 1930-1931. Aside from this, and schooling provided by Walnut Hill School and the Vickery Independent School District to the east, there were no other municipal-type services in the area for almost a decade.
Growth, however, was strong during the 1930s, with hundreds of new families and homes coming to Preston Hollow, ranging from small ranch-style houses to large, monumental estates owned by some of the most prominent individuals in the Dallas area. The lull of rural country living located just minutes from the city attracted the attention of wealthy investors, developers and business owners seeking the long blocks bordered with hackberry, oak and pecan trees that transported residents to another time and place.
Nature was not the only pull leading them to Preston Hollow. Preston Hollow’s lack of municipal resources meant low taxes, so the rising costs of the City of Dallas pushed many of those residents to the coun
try. The many new homes of the 1930s made the area increasingly dense and commercial businesses, like a barbecue restaurant, drive-in movie theater and a filling station began popping up in 1938.
The need for change and a push towards incorporation
Many residents began to fear the possibility of losing that sense of tranquility. Road traffic increased, and so did noise. For those who escaped from Dallas to this area to leave behind such nuisances, this was not a welcome change. Other than the water district in 1930, any sort of coordinated municipal efforts in the area had been tough to complete. A good example was in April 1936, when Ira DeLoache sent a letter to residents attempting to raise money for a traffic light at Preston and Northwest Highway, costing a total of $500 ($11,234.96 in 2024).
“The danger of a loss of a member of one of our families … should warrant our contributing to this fund without hesitancy,” DeLoache says in a letter written on April 22, 1936 to Preston Road District property owners.
He also mentioned that it would curb

speeding and raise property values. That argument was not convincing enough, as he had to send a follow up letter in May stating they had only raised half the funds and he specifically requested a $5 check ($112.35 in 2024) for maintenance and utility costs. This struggle would serve as a major preview for what would happen a few years later. If anything was going to be done regarding establishing any municipality, it would take a very courageous and very wise group of people. Luckily, Preston Hollow had such a group.
The first public mention of any sort of plan for the future was contained in a 1938 neighborhood letter by DeLoache. He encouraged Preston Hollow residents to pay the Dallas County Poll Tax, which was required for anyone to vote in a municipal or county-level election. He drummed up support by reiterating the concerns of time, stating that “if we are to be in a position to protect our investments, our restrictions, keep our roads in repair and prevent our property from encroachments and unattractive developments, we must be in a position to vote when the time comes.”
The “time coming” that Mr. DeLoache mentioned in the earlier letter was 1939, when plans for incorporation were announced and many pieces of literature began circulating, attempting to sway residents in either direction. While he never went on to serve in any official municipal capacity, DeLoache was the forefather of the incorporation movement. Another individual who spearheaded the movement was former City of Dallas Mayor Joseph Earl Lawther, who served during WWI.
ed in the preservation, protection and orderly development of our community at minimum cost.” Their major plea to skeptical residents was that “no property in the proposed town is so remote as to escape suffering from deterioration in the general character of the community. The choice is between control or unregulated encroachments running wild.”
in this area because such taxation was not desired.” They estimated that the existing tax of $3.40 per $100 property valuation ($76.00 for $2,246.99 in 2024) consisting of $0.77 for the state, $0.73 for the county, $1.00 for schooling and $0.90 for the water district, would rise to $4.90 ($110) total.
Why Incorporate Preston Hollow also contained legal rebuttals to many of Lawther’s more technical talking points. The election on the issue originally scheduled for Oct. 14, 1939, was delayed a month to Nov. 18 for technical issues like an improperly drawn map. Possibilities of delaying it until 1940 because many people didn’t pay the 1938 poll tax (which allowed them to vote in 1939) were also discussed. Votes for incorporation won on Nov. 18, so an election with no opposition for city official positions was scheduled for Dec. 20, 1939.
One of the earlier residents of the area, he made headlines and brought attention to Preston Hollow when he built the eight-acre colonial property at 4952 Northwest Highway in 1931. Lawther’s expertise in municipal government shone through in his efforts to incorporate Preston Hollow. Questions & Answers on Incorporation was a major, in-depth leaflet compiled by Lawther and DeLoache alongside Fred Mellen, Clifton Dennard, B.F. Houston, Alex Weisberg and Raymond P. Locke. This group claimed through their slogan that they were “a committee of neighbors interest -
Key campaign points consisted of enhancing and stabilizing property values, preventing annexation without consent (from University Park, a common fear at the time), and creating actions for municipal services like garbage, police and fire. They argued this would take place at a moderate cost, as Preston Hollow would not be forced to build a sewer and maintain roads, and school and water prices would stay the same. That statement would haunt them.
Another pamphlet with a mockingly similar design, called Why Incorporate Preston Hollow , was in opposition. They informed readers that authors of the opposing view had no business interests and were mere homeowners, a jab at developer DeLoache. Their biggest talking point was that “municipal benefits are obtainable only by municipal taxation” and “many built their homes
On the ballot was:
• Mayor: Joe Lawther of 4952 Northwest Highway (1931-2006).
• Aldermen candida tes: Frank I. Brinegar of 8531 Jourdan Way (c.1934-c.2009), Albert E. Hammerstein of 5307 Deloache (1936c.2001), Gerald I. Soelter of 9101 Douglas (1935-present), and Jack Tolliver Martin of 6255 Woodland (1937-2014).
• Mayor Pro Tempore: William H. Clark of 9054 Briarwood (1938-present)
• Cit y Marshall: Herbert C. Otis of 5424 Deloache (c.1936-1997)
All of these city officials were elected and contributed “pro bono,” and most of them had day jobs. The city hall was established in Ira DeLoache’s real estate office (and later the headquarters of Ebby Halliday) at 5999 W Northwest Highway. Since over 100 homes per year were being built in the area, the officials got started addressing problems.
