Newton’s 3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, (plus a social media overreaction).
Anne Lewis Born June 27, 1940 in Bend, Oregon
Died: Easter Morning April 16, 2017
Esther Annette Culpepper Lewis was preceded in death by her parents: Hubert M. Culpepper and Esther Denham Culpepper. Anne was their only child. She was raised in Mississippi. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lester in 1999. She had lived in East Texas where she met Lester and she came to Terlingua with him in January 1994 (thank you Lester).
I never heard her mention his name without adding, “The love of my life.”
Anne is survived by her children: Charles McQuary & wife Patti; Scott McQuary & wife Jennifer. And by Lester’s children: Theo Lewis Smith; Leslie Lewis Torrey; Lester D. Lewis – plus - many grandchildren & great grandchildren.
Anne’s Christian faith was very strong. She lived her life prepared to go whenever her time came. A few years ago, she ordered for herself a custom-made, hand-turned wooden urn even before she had become terminally ill. It is gorgeous and so befitting the classy southern lady that was Anne.
Anne loved all music especially our locally grown: Chris, Ted, Just Us Girls and the like were among her very favorites. She had a ‘music room’ at her house, where she would record mixes of various artist and genres, and give the tapes away to friends for no particular occasion. Some of us have pieces of Anne’s beautiful hand-made jewelry, which she often gifted for no special reason except that she loved you.
If you knew Anne, she had a positive way of helping you cut through worries, quandaries or problems you might be experiencing – sort of like a guru. She could also call B S for what it is, and do so in such a logical, down-to-earth manner. She was so profound in those ways.
Reading the many comments on Face Book from those acquainted with her made me think how loved and cherished
we all should hope to be, in the present and after we are gone. Posts there were only admiration and love for what
a wonderful woman Anne was and the memories she will forever leave in our hearts.
For selfish reasons, we wish she was still here… and that a gathering of us were out at her place in Gate 4 Valley.
We’d be sitting by her campfire, listening to her wide, wide range of music and the trickle of her outside fountain.
Oh, and likely imbibing Parrot Bay... and laughing... lots of laughing. But for her sake, let us be happy that she is freed from her illness. Rest now in peace dear Anne.

The following is from organizer Stu Crane, via Jackie Siglin. Hope the Alpine March for Science is well attended! It's a good thing... and important.

The march itself will take place from approximately 11:30am to 12:30pm. The plan is to form a line up and down the Sul Ross University sidewalks starting at Entrance 1 adjacent to US 90 and spreading down Harrison St to Entrance 4."

Gizmo is a 1 year old male chihuahua mix who came in with several other dogs when their owner died. He's gaining confidence in his surroundings after that shock, and can be cuddly and a little playful. He loves to be held. He plays with a young puppy who's larger than him very well, and then he'll come to the human and take treats very daintily. He needs someone willing to give him lots of good experiences and reach his potential! For more information about Gizmo, or any other animal in the Alpine shelter, please email heatherthemule@gmail.com
