Her husband, Claude Hocott, earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from UT Austin and later became executive vice president of Exxon Production Research Company. Upon his retirement, Hocott served as acting chair of the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering.” (source: Cockrell School of Engineering, Faculty Reception 2016 program)
