Wasn't it the mother of Mike Nesmith (of The Monkees fame)?

Mike Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper. Then Tipp-Ex came along as a rival product. I doubt Willie Nelson was involved.

This is another urban myth, doubtless corrupted from the truth, which as stated, is that Mrs Nesmith, a secretary, invented the idea of correction fluid, and was smart enough to patent her invention, ensuring that her son and heir could get by with the first of his eight-figure fortunes - two more came from the virtual invention of MTV, and of course, the wondeful Monkees.
