Although all details are not known at this time, the word has been sent that cue maker Anne Mayes (Annie O of AO Custom Cues) has passed away today. Here is a recent article about a benefit that the pool community in Texas pulled together for Anne and it tells a little more about her diagnosed illness.

Deeply saddened. I first met Annie O at WPBA San Diego in 2002, and we hit it off immediately. Great, fun loving gal, who really loved our sport and the people in it. Though we had occasional E-mail contact, I only saw her three times since. I'm glad I had the privilege of knowing her, and wish to express my condolences to her family and friends.

The world of pool has lost a charismatic, colorful character, but those of us who knew her will always remember Annie's light touch and her infectious smile.

My heart goes out to Anne's family and friends. I never met her in person but she was a huge supporter of my business and we never got around to the horse trading we were going to do.

Rest in peace Anne.

I just received an email from a friend and she said Annie sent her an email yesterday morning (she passed away at 630 that evening), saying she was at peace. I am so glad.

All of us at Tiger Products wish to extend our condolences to Annie's family and friends. Very sad news indeed.

If I am not mistaken, Annie was one of the very few cuemaking women in the world. An inspiration to many.

She will be missed.

Anne Mayes Passing

I am deeply sadden to hear this.

Anne was a great cue maker, pool teacher, and friend.

I will miss that spark in her eye when I would question her about some aspect of making cues and she enthusiastically enjoyed educating me.

The outpouring of support in the recent fund raiser from many is evidence of her greatness. I am glad I was able to attend.

My prayers for her family and friend.
She will be missed.

This is sad news. I never met her but I have hit some balls with some of her cues and I always heard nice things said about her. She will be missed.
