Alethea Ann McPherson

Lethy Anne was my best friend. We had so much fun inventing games and teasing our younger sisters. W didn't see each other for over 50 years, but when we did, we still had the wonderful connection we had as children. I miss her.

I am sure she is saving a place for me up there. We have many more pranks to play. She has aways been part of who I am.

Lee was my acting pal, my buddy, my sweetheart. What you saw was what you got, and that was prime-cut. She was witty and fun and dynamic. She left too soon. I'm always going to miss her.

Dearest Lee - How much fun we had in The New Sounds of Hawthorne. And Joe and I will never forget "The Cat Lady." Now that we also have several cats that we allow to join us on the table at dinnertime, we understand Lee's love for her many little friends. Our favorite story is about Dave and the cat that had been injured. Dave professed not to care about the cats, but he took special care of this poor little injured cat, and even when the cat had recovered, every time he walked past Dave,...

I am so proud to have known Lee.
She was a great role model for me as I was growing up. She was a strong woman who knew what she wanted and got it!
I have wonderful memories of our many conversations and of course, lots of laughs!!
I will miss her but never forget her.

Lethy Anne was my very first and best friend. We both came from families with little money so we waited on the corner of Benton Avenue and Parvis Street, where her house was, to run to Mrs. Price when we saw her coming to ask if we could carry her packages. She always gave us each a penny with which we bought candy at the corner drug store.

Since we didn't have many toys, we improvised. We played store using weeds for food and stones for money; we played beauty shop on my front...

I felt Lee could have done anything she set her mind to,we were just fortunate that she chose the arts and we were able to witness her talents. My daughter, Tracey knew the artisic,creative McPhearsons long before me. Kerry was her best friend and she enjoyed being at the round house on the hill of 32nd street.Lee invited me to try out for a play at the Palos Verdes Courtyard Mall. I did and that was all it took I was hooked. I got to know Lee as a generous,friendly, actor who did not...

Lee was an all important friend to my parents Bill and Joan Paterson and spent many an afternoon/evening at our home on 83rd Street in Westchester. Besides singing with my father in New Sounds she shared a very singular relationship with my mother Joan. Lee and Dave are part of my childhood and young adulthood that I cherish fondly. I too remember the cats and Lee's love of animals. Lee's laughter, her ocassionally swearing (which I loved), her all inclusiveness and her absolute joy of...

We remember Lee's warm smile and deep, deep sense of humor. Such a wonderful friend, with fierce loyalty to those she held dear... such as the street kitty we met once, who had come into her life broken in spirit and body, a walking wounded feline cancer case. He was hopeless, or would have been if he had not met Lee. She took him to doctors, hospitals, surgeries. No expense was spared, nothing was too good for the mystery Kitty. Later, after the miraculous recovery that could only have...
