Dee Ann was my professor and mentor beginning with the Davis Site field school of 1970. From her I learned the importance of careful study and professional responsibility. Dee Ann launched me on my way as an archaeologist. It was such a privilege to have known her.

It wasn't long ago that I saw Dee Ann and even though she was ill I thought this gal can conquer anything. The news that she had passed was quite a blow. I've known Dee Ann since the mid-50s and considered her a wonderful friend and colleague. From the time we were students at UT she no doubt had a tremendous impact on my career and there isn't a room big enough to hold all the people she influenced. We will miss her confidence and energy and she leaves a void that will not soon be filled.

Her interests and research integrity created ripples that reached into Oklahoma where the late Dr. Robert E. Bell frequently taught and praised her training, findings, and knowledge. All of us who knew her appreciated and loved her.

I met Dee Ann in the in the 1960s during my first visit to TARL. I had no formal experience in archaeology but I wanted to know how I could become involved in archaeology and she encouraged me to record sites, document collections, and (of course) read as much as possible. She always seemed to find time to talk to me and I will always be grateful. The last time I saw her was at her house a few years ago when she kindly invited me to see where she lived. We sat on the patio overlooking the river and had a wonderful conversation. She signed the "now famous" Bulletin of the Texas Archeological Society that she co-authored with Alex D. Krieger and Edward B. Jelks. That bulletin was my first literary introduction to archaeology. One of the employees at Garner State Park had a copy and he let me look at it when I was at the park. I never wanted to give it back. She graduated from Milby High School in Houston (my alma mater) and we lived in the same neighborhood but I did not know her at the time.

Friend, mentor, colleague, and compatriot, Dee Ann was so much more to me than my dissertation director. It is so very hard express all that she meant to me and Linn. We will both miss her a great deal.

Much of what I have been able to achieve as an archaeologist is because Dee Ann gave me the opportunities to succeed. I first met her at a UT summer field school at Pole Cat Hollow in the summer of 1968 when I started my graduate career in Austin. She continued to be my professor, my mentor, and my employer for the next 10 years working at TARl, the Davis Site, and the Antiquities Conservation Facility. But, mainly she was a friend that I kept in contact with through the years and exchanging our annual Chirstmas cards. She was one of a kind and she will be missed.

I am saddened by the loss of Dee Ann, the consummate archaeologist. Small in stature but filled with a giant's share of knowledge that she was more than willing to share. She was a teacher and a friend. She will be missed in so many ways.

I am sorry to hear of the lost of life. Death is thus an absence of life. It is comforting to know that death is a state of total unconsciousness. "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

Dr. Story was my teacher, mentor, friend, and I will miss her dearly. I last saw her at the airport as she was arriving from somewhere, and I was going back home to KY. We talked for a while and so many good memories of our days at TARL, and the Davis site came flooding back. There will never be another Dee Ann Story, and I am a better man for having known her.

To the much loved nephews of Dee Ann - my sincere condolences. She and Hal were very dear friends of my parents for as long as I can remember. She was Avery important role model to growing up - the trailblazer who was proof that women could do whatever they chose. Professional, exceptionally well-spoken, intellectual and hard-working - but also warm, funny and completely open-minded. What she shared with those around her- students, collegues and friends goes far beyond her her field of work. She was such a treasure. I will miss her.

I was honored and privileged to have taken my Texas Archeology course with Dr. Story. Working at TARL during her tenure was the best preparation for being a professional archaeologist. No one can replace the role model she was for women in archaeology. Rest well Dee Ann.
