I'm so sad to bring the news that our longtime friend Lady Jeeper passed away early this morning. I have none of the particulars, but having talked with her fairly recently and seeing her post's on facebook just a few days' ago, I'm shocked! Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed.

Very sad news, was just thinking about her today and now this. I only met her a few times but considered her a friend because she made you feel that way. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met and she had a love for RP and it’s people that was second to no one. You will be missed Chari.

I was so sorry to hear this. Just the other day I was thinking I hadn't seen any posts from her recently. Blessings to her friends and family.

Oh man! I knew she'd been having health issues for quite a while, but this shocks me and makes me very sad. Chari didn't have a mean bone in her body and had such a droll sense of humor; I was hoping that she really would write a little book with all of her funny stories in it.

She was a decade younger than me; way too young to leave us.

I will always remember her by something she mentioned in a conversation we had earlier this year. To me, this is the essential Chari:

"I can swear in 2 languages​
i remember seeing Canyon de Chelly. I leaned on the railing and cried​
We got to go on a guide Jeep tour in our Jeeps. It was spiritual"​
​
I hope she knew how loved she was by her many friends.

Speechless. Not the news I wanted to hear when I opened this thread. You will be so missed, Chari. :confused:

Well I know I am going to the MIrador this weekend and drink a beer on the beach.. Maybe go sit on the porch at her trailer if I can find it.

Lot 149, I think. Stopped by once on my way out with a buddy just to say hi. She and mom were still in jammies late in the afternoon. Said "Well, hi!" and headed up the road.

She was a character. Mom, too.

That is so sad. She was one of the best on this board about sharing stories of Penasco's past. I never got a chance to meet her in person but I felt like I knew her. Rest in peace.

So sad to hear this news - Chari was one of our first friends at PDO and here at the forum. We hope to hear about a memorial service for her soon, her sister posted something on her Facebook page. I've inserted a picture from a trip out to La Pinta from 2011, good times on the beach!
I remember a number of years ago, we needed to make a beer run - Chari let me borrow and drive her Jeep, she said she never had done that for anyone before, I still think that was a special honor. Past few years we have missed her at Thanksgiving over at Val + Chucks - she said her Mom wanted to have the family together in Phoenix. We shall raise a toast to her in a few weeks when we gather again!
RIP Lady Jeeper !!!

Thanks Kenny,
So sad about Chari, still have not heard about a memorial service or celebration of life.
My email has probably changed a few times at least in 10 years.
Are you coming down for Thanksgiving? Haven't seen you in a while......

Thanks for posting those Kenny.

A very handsome Ric Felder in one of those pics. One of the best fishermen I've met in my life.

No, I won't be down and though we've been in contact a few times in the last 10 years, it has been a while; a long while.
