Thanks, Slim.

It probably has mostly all been said already, friend.
But Annie was THE BEST.  She was a real force in CAS and everything she did.
I feel kinda sad & sick right now, so I'll just shut up.

PS  Nancy, I'll miss ya.

There is so much I want to say about Annie Lee, but I don't know where to begin. 

Everytime I try to write something, my computer screen gets all blurry and my keyboard gets wet.

She was a really good person, whom I had the honor and privledge to know her and her son Charlie (Will).  I am going to miss her terribly.  I could always talk to her about anything, and she would listen and not judge.  She always gave me great advice and/or suggestion that I could use.

Nancy and I meet at Pungo at one of the shoots.  She was always laughing and joking with everyone.  She always had a smile on her face, and a kind word for everyone.

I'm sorry, I can't write anymore right now.  I will post more later when my screen is clearer.

The first time I met Annie f2f was at Roundup a coupla years back.

There was a Wild Bunch side match.  Annie was the first lady I'd met in cyberspace that shot a 1911 besides me.  So, we're gonna do WB together.  At that time, she used a sxs shotgun and didn't know manual of arms for a pump.  

We plunked the guns down on the loading table and she says "Show me the drill and don't forget I'm left handed."

Well, she marched out and shot the stage, did fine with the shotgun.

Jaws dropped when she pulled the 1911 and commenced to shooting it.

She did it one-handed. ;D :o ;D

Didn't even realize she was doing something special.

Ahhh...the memories I could share ... you could all learn what lurked behind things like "olive up the nose" threads.  Truthfully, I can't remember her ever sticking anything naughty up her nose - she had the cutest nose.  I told her that when I was up here in January. 

We did always assume that she was left by the garbageman - how sad is that?  My mom wasn't supposed to have any more kids after me (the 4th) and she had a tubaligation.  Then the miracle baby happened and neither one of them were supposed to make it so my mom embroidered our names on all our white undershirts and underwear so that someone would have an easier time with the laundry.  Nancy and Mom both made it just fine and Nancy was the healthiest of all of us until last December.  She's the only one who was never in the hospital except for when Will was born.  We grew up sharing a bedroom and we were so opposite.  She was always so innocent, gullible, and honest and me and my brother took so much advantage in our teasing.  I was soooooo happy when she let me in to her life when she was sick and we spent the last couple of months growing closer and closer. She taught me HUGE lessons about not being judgemental and putting things into perspective and valuing friendships.

I hope I handle things honorably by her and I don't think it will suck too much for Charlie to spend part of his summer vacation down in Florida with his Grandma and his Aunt Joyce - who has a big loveable dog and 4 disfunctional cats (are there any other kinds?)  Charlie will get lots of love, and this big ol' piece of heaven property.  We'll all do our best by him.  It's sure been awesome to get to know so many of her cowboys.

Like many good friendships, Annie and I met in conflict.
We banged heads often, as stubborn, outspoken and passionate people tend to do..
After we agreed that neither of us had a harder head ;).. we grew to respect and care about each other.

We didn't speak often, but as she posted less and less, I called her more and more.  The last time we talked she seemed upbeat but tired.  I had to hurry off the phone to get into work.. now I wish I'd spent a few more minutes with her. 

Annie (I know Nancy, but that's just not how I think of her) was not perfect, but her heart and her spirit overwhelmed her imperfections.
My world is darker for her passing..

Adios,

She was opinionated, stubborn, independant and bull-headed.   One glance in the mirror and I met someone just like her.

She was kind, loving, giving and loyal to her friends and complete strangers. 

If one insisted on giving her crap, she had big shovel and could dish it back.   I'd never known her to be the first sling the crap.

Specific memories.

Having been fortunate enough to have shot with Annie over the last several years I was able to enjoy her company f2f on many occassions.  We tried to get on the same Posse and there were a group of us that were devoted to having fun regardless of how we shot.  In fact on several occassions we were so busy trying to humorously upstage one another that we would forget the target sequence, of course if one of us was next in line we normally were laughing so hard we would either miss a lot of targets or mess up the stage sequence ourselves.  The last time we shot together I commented on how nobody ever took my picture when I was shooting, so I didn't have an action shot to use for my Avatar.  Annie stepped right up got me to show her how my camera worked and took several shots of me that day.  Right now I am searching through my CAS files trying to find shots of Annie that I have,  If any of the rest of you have digital pictures of her or ones that you can scan into a computer you can email them to me teadams4@cox.net I am trying to put together a CD or multiple CD's of pictures to send to Will(Charlie) so he will have them as memories of his Mom.  She was definitely a special Lady and her passing will leave a void that willbe hard to fill.  Gotta go ther's dust getting in my eyes and I can't see the screen and the keyboard is getting damp.  :'(

I enjoyed her wit. She was able to bring a smile to my face and did so many, many times. Her posts were treasures.

I think the really fortunate people were the ones who knew her in person.

Her blackberry jam was good enough to die for.

Her blackberry jelly was awesome too!  I think that I still have some preserves or something in the fridge.


She loved her hats and her pretty corsets.  I don't think that I have ever met anyone with as much self-confidence as Annie Lee had.


Some of you may understand this and some may not but she made a great Nun.

Miss you Annie Lee!

Never had the privilage of meeting Her face to face, but had some frank and honest postings and e-mails.

She would always stepin for the underdog.  She was kind to the less-lovable.

She brought balance to the forum, made people think---I'll miss her wit, humor, and Ele Kbong, (Le Ping).

Yes, She knew Da Sheep is my Rascal Scooter/electric wheelchair.  We had a lot of laughs bout Da Sheep v Le Ping, and of course Da Chicken.

There just arn't words to express My since of loss.

Annie became one of my best friends faster than any other except my wife.  She seemed to be so “in tune” with my thoughts and moods, even from 2,500 miles away, that I could talk to her and come away feeling better for it.

I can’t begin to express how much loss I feel at her passing, but I want to tell you about a couple of occasions that we shared.

Before I ever corresponded with her about anything serious she posted about putting up blackberry jams.  I mentioned that I love blackberry jam and she sent me half-dozen jars within a few days.  Of course the post office lost them for three months, but we only lost one jar to spoilage.

On another occasion she and I had a disagreement about some trivial thing…I honestly don’t remember what it was…and I didn’t hear from her for several days.  I e-mailed and asked if we were okay, did I really tick her off.  She sent me back a message that if I had I wouldn’t have to ask.  It would be very apparent that she was angry.

I joined in on a thread and, again I don’t recall what led up to it, I sent her the message, “Blush for me, Annie.”  She came back raising hell because “You actually made me blush.  How did you do that?”

When she adopted the little skillet and was searching for a name, I was delighted and proud when I suggested Le Ping and she took it without hesitation.

Somewhere along the line she thought I reminded her of Fonzie.  Again, I have no recollection of the reason, only that for months I was referred to on the wire as Forty Fonzai.  Go figure.

In the few days since her passing my world has become smaller, colder, and much less comfortable.  I don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

She had told me of a planned business trip out here to California this Spring and I was so much looking forward to meeting her in person.  It looks like that meeting has been postponed for a spell.

Will, I would be happy to have you contact me anytime you fell the need, and if you are ever on the left coast, please let me know.  If I can’t meet Annie, perhaps I can meet you.

Be well, and have a great future.  I hope you do well in whatever field you choose for yourself.

I’d like to ask one favor:  please give your Aunt Joyce a hug and my thanks for being there when Annie and you needed her.

I had no chance to meet her; my regrettable loss. I enjoyed reading everything she posted. Carefree, confident, open, she had so much joie de vivre and bonhomie that it just flowed out and covered you all warm and comfortable, even through the glowing screen.

The world is duller and flatter now. We will go on, sadder, yes, but inspired and warmed by having known her.

Make Your face to shine upon her, Lord...

Annie was one of a kind.

I had the honor on meeting Annie after several posts back and forth here and on other CAS sites. We finally met at a Black Creek shoot after Pungo had shut down. The first thing she did when she saw me was reach out for a hug. Thats the kind of person she was. Everyone was family to her.

We had fun at teasing each other about that days shooting efforts. Usually I took the brunt of it. Annie was an accomplished shooter, even if she said she wasn't. But she always made sure that I understood that she was just kiddin around so as to not hurt my feelings.

She came down for the first ever two day match at Black Creek in August. It was blazing hot both days. I can only imagine how hot she was under the corset and such. But not once did she complain or say she wanted to go. True cowboy...er... cowgirl all the way.

I will always remember Annie at the line blastin away gunfighter, with El Kabong in it own holster on her gunbelt.

Annie was so respected, that she was nominated and elected to be our clubs Treasurer. I was looking forward be seeing her each month.

As it has been said, she found out about her illness the week before Christmas. She did not want anyone to know but a select few. I found out three days after our December match. She came down to wish everyone a happy holiday. She was in a lot of pain and on pain meds so she didn't shoot. I passed by her car and found her sleeping. I too, didn't want to awaken her. But before I left the range that day, she hunted me down and gave me a jar of her famous jam. I still have it. Its the best I have ever had. But now I don't want to use it. I would rather save what I have left.

Three days later, it was reveal to a few of us the she had cancer and would not be able to serve as our Treasurer. I felt like I had been sucker punched as did everyone else in the room. Five days later was Christmas. All I could think of was "How is Annie doing?"

I could never make up to see her. I am grateful to Sam Hades and the others that could. She would do the same for all of us.

God Bless Annie. Shoot clean and fast and I will see you again.

She loved flannel, she ordered a flannel camisole, pantaloons and petticoat last year before Christmas, our shipping Dept shipped them the same day they came in and we joked on Tall Tales how I didn't get to fondle her un-mentionables before they were shipped.

I had a good thought about Annie yesterday, it was in the 70's here in Newbrasky and I got around to trimming and cleaning up my roses.  They got neglected last year when I was sick and Annie wished she lived closer so she could pull the weeds for me.

I mentioned one time that I had about 2 dozen long-stemmed roses of all colors in vases around the house, she wanted to know my secret, I told her, she thought a minute and laughed saying it made sense if you understand chemistry.

So yesterday when I was sprinkling my odds and ends of gunpowder on my "Warthog Roses" it made me think of here and her love of growing flowers.

For never having met MIz Lee, I am surprised how much her loss has affected me...I went back last nite and read thru about 1/3 of Kumbuya Part Duex, and was laffing out loud in my office. She had a quick and sharp wit...Me and Old Top loved to tap into that and her knowledge of music. Part Deux should be put in book form...it says a lot.

I only got 1 jar of her jam. I regret I couldn't get a jar of my Apple Butter to her before she got sick.

I will miss her from afar....Joyce and Wil/Charile, you had a gem, keep in touch....

a sad Curley.....

This was read at the funeral of a friend in July, a friend who loved dogs.  Another forum I haunt had it posted, Annie would have loved it. :'(

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER...

I visited with AnnieLee's son last Saturday.  I brought him a quilt that was made for him by two of AnnieLee's friends, Toccoa Kate & Rocky 2 Pockets.  Toccoa Kate was also the person that wrote the piece in the Chronicle about AnnieLee.  The quilt was made with material that AnnieLee had.  She wanted Charlie to have the quilt but she was too weak to do the work so she asked Toccoa Kate to make it for her.  I finally connected with Charlie and delivered it to him. 

Attached is a picture of the quilt.

Happy Birthday AnnieLee.  I think of you every day.

He seems to be doing fine.  He is a senior in high school and is keeping busy with school and his part-time job.  I think his SASS membership has expired since he told me has not received any Chronicles since last April.  :(

On a brighter note, his birthday is tomorrow, September 28.  He will be 17.  His email address is still valid and is spyder6009@aol.com

I sure miss her.  :'(
The following is part of an email I sent to some family and friends on 3/1/2006.

At 1:20 PM on Monday, a dear friend lost her fight with cancer. She was known in the Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) community as Annie Lee. Her given name was Nancy Depoy. She was 47 years old. The following is an email I received from her on 12/19/2005. “(I have)  Metastatic pancreatic carcinoma that has spread to the liver, lungs, adrenal glands and lymph nodes. My appointment with the oncologist is on Jan 6th. Since it has metastised, it's inoperable. They are starting me on pain management. Dunno what else to say.”

I met her on a CAS board 3 years ago and conversed with her almost daily since. We talked on the phone many times about CAS and other things. We met her and her son, Charlie, face to face in February 2005 at the NCOWS Convention in Iowa. She sent jam and jelly that she made to us the last two Christmases. A couple months after Micah was born, we received a package from her. A blue afghan that she knitted and little soaps for the girls were in it. Carolee (my better-half) put the soaps in the girl’s dresser drawers to make them smell pretty.

I talked to her on the phone last week. I mostly talked, she listened. We talked for about a half hour. She sounded very tired. She asked me if she could go so she could lie down. That was the last time I spoke with her.

She was admitted to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, VA on Thursday. On Friday night, I was informed that she had developed pneumonia. On Sunday night, I was told they didn’t think she was going to last very long. I decided that I would drive out on Monday to hopefully get there before she died. I didn’t know if she knew Jesus as her Saviour, so I wanted to share the plan of salvation with her. I talked to her sister on Monday morning before I left. She said that she was on oxygen and not taking in much, but her heart was beating faster to compensate for it. I left the house about 8:45 AM and drove to the gas station about 7 miles away. On the way to the gas station, an idea popped into my head that it might be good to have someone ride shotgun with me to help keep me awake. The first name that came to me was Jeff Bailey (Steel Horse Bailey), a CAS friend in Indy. He is on disability from the Army (Gulf War Syndrome), so he is not currently working. So, at the gas station, I called him to see if he wanted to do that and he said yes. So, off to Indy I went via Illinois. In the middle of Illinois, around 1 – 1:30 PM, I had the feeling I needed to place Annie Lee in the hands of Jesus and let go of her. After 9 hours on the road; in which I did a lot of praying, thinking, and listening to Christian radio; I arrived on the Bailey household. I called Carolee and she informed me that Annie Lee died around 1:30 PM. I was not sure what to do as I didn’t know what the funeral plans were going to be, so I sat down and chatted with Jeff. My friend, Delmonico, called a little while later and said that she was being cremated and the funeral service was going to be at Arlington National Cemetery in about 2 weeks. So, I decided to stay the night and head back home in the morning. We talked until after 1 AM. At 10 AM, I was on the road back home. I did a lot of praying, thinking, and listening to Christian radio; again. I got home at 6:45 PM.

I lost a friend that I never met a year ago, and as many on this wire have said the sport is diminished by her passing.  I still wish that she was here to give me he!! when I needed it.  Rest in Peace Annie.

So your wife never got infected with the CAS virus?  We need to fix that.  Please  have Lou, Driftwood Johnson, and Wild Bill work on her!  ;D

I emailed with Joyce today (Nancy's sister).  I encouraged her to stop by here to say HI! since AnnieLee's account still exists.  I hope she does.  I almost met up with her and her mom on Sunday since I was stuck in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (thanks to the weather here & jetBLUE).

 :'(  I miss her too...sooooo much.  So many times over the past year I've thought "I've gotta give Nancy a call about that one!" (and it's usually something ridiculous or extremely silly - her preferred correspondence).  None of it has felt real to me since the day she died, which explains why it seems like 'yesterday' to some, but 'forever' to me. 

I've sure been grateful to all the FOALI's (Friends Of Annie Lee Independent) out there.  In fact, my heart has been lifted from a puddle of ooze by you all.   You are truly an amazing bunch! 

I did forget her password, and tried to log in as myself but last year - of confused mind - I  transferred her user name to my email - probably so I could stay in touch and read the tributes.  Anyway, I couldn't get a new name and I feel like such a fraud writing under hers.  I wish I could do her honor by being as entertaining - but there's no one else in the world, I'd swear to that, like her.  God bless all of ya - and Thanks! :'(

I haven't said much because I just don't have the words.  (Isn't that a laugh?  Forty Rod with nothing to say.)

It seems like just a few days ago she called because of something I posted and she wanted to discuss it in more depth.  We talked for an hour.

Well,

A couple of firsts....4Trod at a loss for words, and Old Top beating me to a thread. Well, I kind of advoided the thread yesterday, I had a loss of a vital family member recently (services were last week.)  Miz Lee would have given me heck about the relationship. My wifes ex-husbands wife passed of a brain tumor. We had some fun times, and the last year she was just a shell. But, The Wee Five (You were on my mind....) sang at her service..Amazing Grace. Miz Lee would have enjoyed the whold concept of that and we could have gone on for pages about singers from just the mention of the we Five....

Anyways, Joyce, don't be a stranger, and Miz Lee, Kumbuya Part deauz has yet to be matched...

Good night MIz Lee.

Until a week or so ago, I hadn't been on this board in years, and I noticed this thread and read it through.
It brings back a lot of fond memories, as I used to shoot with AnnieLee back in Pungo. Many here will know of what I speak. AnnieLee always greeted me with a hug, since we first became friends, and she was the first person in my life to do anything like that, short of my wife. My wife (Beth of Lincoln County) and I always looked forward to seeing her each month, and whenever we could talk her into it, she would come to our place for dinner or we would all go somewhere for dinner after the shoot. We even managed to get up to her place for a weekend one time, the summer before she got sick.
My mother died the November before AnnieLee found out she was sick, the first weekend of November. AnnieLee called after the match in Pungo (held the first weekend each month) to see what was up, as we had missed the match. We were at the funeral home, working out "the details". AnnieLee insisted to come right over, no matter what, and she stayed with us 'till well into the night, even though she had a long drive home yet, after a long day. She had met my parents on a couple of occaisions before.
I remember at Roundup, with four or five of us sitting around a table at the hotel out by the pool after the banquet, BSing and having a good time for half the night. She was just so much fun to be around.
I haven't shot much CAS since then, as my parents were our babysitters for us to shoot. Now I work most of the time and don't get to shoot hardly at all.

The world is a lesser place without her, but her new home is a brighter place for her being there.

I actually saw Mz. Annie's son in October at the Mason Dixon Stampede.   :)

He has grown way up and is a very nice looking young man.

He came to the match on Saturday and then again on Sunday just to see some of the pards that he and his mom used to shoot with.  He is willing and ready to get back into shooting, but as being in college, he can't have his guns there.  He promised that when the shooting season starts back up we would be seeing more of him, especially at the Thurmont Maryland shoots.

He gave me his email address, but at present, I can't seem to find it.


I had been meaning to post this info, but just hadn't got around to it until today.  Sorry for the delay.

Fair winds to a fellow veteran,
the sign of a truly great person, is that they'll be missed.

Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the lakes from the hills from the sky,
all is well, safely, rest, God is near.

Fading light,
Dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky Gleaming bright,
From afar,
Drawing,
near,
Falls the night.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
Neath the sun Neath the stars Neath the sky,
As we go,
This,
we,
know,
God is near.

Evening All,

I cannot beleive that it has been almost three years since we lost Annie.  She was definatly one of the stellar member of this agust group, called me to task several times with PM's, where we did not always agree she always had some good points to ponder.  Her humor and wit were always on target and if she thought that you were having a bad day there was always a note to ask if all was OK.  I miss her every time I log on to this forum.  Goodby Miss Annie, may we meet again a Fiddlers Green where I will meet you in person and enjoy a livelly discussion.

Yep.  In the short time that I knew her, she became a special friend. 

She was indeed concerned if a person was having a bad day and would do whatever she could to improve it.

As Top said I can not believe the time that has passed. Recently I returned to the Kumbuya Part Deaux. That was a thread that still is hard to follow....and Miz. Lee was a major contributor.

We still miss you Miz. Lee, Top said it well, I concur.

First time she called me was at work, she needed help with her dutch oven.  I was real busy with customers but told her to call me after work on my cell and I'd make time to help her.  Was in the kitchen cooking and Rita came home and asked who I was talking to, told her "my girlfriend."  Annie like te fact she had no need to worry about Rita being jelous of me talking to another women.

It never worked out, but she wanted to meet Rita sometime.

TLD,
After AnnieLee passed, her sister gave me boxes of that jelly - as well as some soap she made.  I distributed it as best I could.  There were also some un-sent Christmas gift boxes of the same items which I tried to send out.  In Del's box was also some mustache wax!

Thank Sodbuster for sending it to me.  It got shared with most of her friends out here in Newbrassky.  El Ka Bong is in my work room.

Yes, there was only one of Annie Lee, and I too think of her often.  :(

It is with great pleasure to give an update on her son Will.  :)  Will attending the great Mason/Dixon Stampede last weekend he graced us with his presence. 

Will has gotten so big and appears to have become his own young man.  He is now working in the real world of construction, something about design or art design, (just can't remember).  He has bought his first house, and is concerned about being so young in doing this.  He actually bought one of the houses that he and his mom, dad lived in. 

He is not yet 21, so unable to obtain his guns that a cowboy shooter is keeping for him.  He states that when he turns of age he will be getting back into the cowboy shooting sport.

I hope this news bring a slight smile to all faces in remember of Annie Lee as her son is turning into a wonderful young man.


Until next time.......

Miss Annie passed .... I never had the pleasure.... :(

I followed how her son was getting along , (last posted here he was under 21, had bought a house ) that when he reached 21 he'd get his arms and shoot CAS .
That was some years ago... I wonder how that turned out... did he become the future of our CAS Family ?

I never met Annie in person.  Like so many others, she became a dear friend and one of many that I miss almost daily.

Annie, BJD, Greeenriver, Longline Charlie, Suzee Silk Knickers are among those (and the list is nearly endless.) that I never met

Then there are those like Old Scout, Joy Belle, China Camp, Undertaker, Walt Lange, Laylow Curly (and the rest on another nearly endless list) that I did meet and get to know who are also gone.

One day I'll get added to the list, too, but I do and will walk among friends wherever I am.
