Anne Le Clercq Obituary

When we began to reorganize The Charleston Library Society, Angie, though not on the Board of Trustees yet, gave us great advice and support. She called me regularly to discuss issues, and always ended our conversations with this admonition: "Hold steady!" She was even better still when she became a trustee.
I admired her hugely.

It was a privilege to know Angie, both professionally and personally. We send our condolences to the entire family and particularly to Fred. Our thoughts are with you.

Rest peacefully in the beautiful plane of Bliss.

I took classes under Professor LeClercq at UT. I'm sure he doesn't remember me; however, I wanted to express my condolences to Professor LeClercq and all of his family.

Very sad to hear of her passing. Praying for your family.

We were all saddened to learn of Angie's death. What an extraordinary lady. She will be missed by many. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Blessings to all,
Jane Thornhill and Jane and Joe Schachte

I am deeply saddened by this news and my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Angie was an able and committed advocate for Daniel Library and for South Carolina Libraries. We greatly miss the feeling that she is down there in Charleston watching out for us.

Sorry for your loss! Thinking of you and your family in this difficult time!

Thinking about you all during this difficult time. Let me know if you need anything.

I will never forget Angie's vibrancy and hospitality. When I first moved to Charleston, Angie invited me to lunch at the Yacht Club so that I could meet other librarians. Throughout the years, I continued to enjoy lively conversations, fascinating collaborations, and family genealogies far more interesting than my own. I was looking forward to continued research about Gippy Plantation. I will miss you, Angie, as a mentor and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her beloved husband, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, sisters, cousins, other relatives, and Citadel family.

What a loss!! We grieve with you.

Fred,

I was stunned and saddened to learn of Angie's death. What a great lady! It was always a treat to be with her--whether visiting at the Daniel Library at the Citadel or recording a program in the ETV-Radio Studio here in Columbia. Nela joins me in extending our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Angie was such an influence on those around her. Her years at UT left an indelible impression. She lit up the room when she entered and vitalized everything she touched. I know without Angie, my life would have been very different. I owe her much.

My condolences to the family -- we are all impoverished by her passing.

Missing a "savvy", wonderful lady. My thoughts & prayers are with you Fred & family--I know there is a tremendous void in your life after such shocking news. Thinking of you during this difficult time. Betty & Joe Oates

Great Lady and a first class individual.
She will be greatly missed.

Mandy and I are saddened to hear of Angie's passing. Her upbeat spirit, resolute optimism, and intellectual insight made her a unique friend, one whom we could all enjoy by just listening. She was brilliant! Her smile gathered friends in large quantity. Her demeanor could best be described as that of a true southern matriarch - full of vitality, wit, and the perspective of growing up in the proper decorum of the old Charleston we fondly remember. There must be another garden somewhere that is catalogued and attended by the amazing Angie LeClercq!

Wonderful lady.

I was stunned this morning at church to learn of her death.

I really got to know Angie a few years ago when she and I worked together for three years on a very daunting, troublesome "project."

She was a pillar of strength and wisdom, and she regularly called me with messages like: "Don't waver!" "You know what has to be done!" "Be strong!"

I grew very fond of her and admired her for many reasons.

I have lost a friend, and all of us have lost a very fine person.

Fred,our prayers are with you and family.
June and Burnham

Shocked and saddened to see this news. Its difficult to believe Angie's bright light is extinguished. In the brief few years our paths crossed as colleagues I enjoyed her enthusiasm, intellect, friendliness and scholarship. Our sympathies go out to her family and many friends.

Fred,

Mary and I share in your loss. We will miss Angie and all she brought to Lake Summit, and our lives.

I wish we could attend the services, but our hearts will be with you and your family

Stunned and saddened to hear about Angie's passing. She was a wonderful fun character and simply facinating to talk to. She will truly be missed. Love, thoughts and prayers to Fred and the family.

So sorry to hear this news. Angie was my favorite "other Mom" of all time. Her joyous spirit will live on in her wonderful family.

Dear Fred,
Norwood joins me in sympathy and condolences to you and your family on your loss of dear Angie.
We are in North Carolina full-time now and unable to attend her services on Monday. Nevertheless, we will be there in the spirit grieving with you but also joyful that she intersected our lives with her beauty of personality and character.
We pray our Lord will lift your grief soon and leave you only the most precious memories of her.
We love you and pray His special comfort for you,
Norwood and John Grinalds

This is so sad. Angie enlivened all of us at the Citadel and in Charleston when she and Fred moved here. She was quite a wonderful colleague, researcher, librarian, lawyer, and friend. Bruce and Katina Strauch

I just learned of Angie's unfortunate passing. She was such a dynamic person. My prayers for her and Fred and Emily and all her entire family

Angie brightened The Citadel--as she did every place she went-- with her grace, her charm, and her intelligence. We are better for having had her as part of our lives. She will be missed and remembered fondly.

Fred, family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I think Angie was one of the nicest people I've ever met, always upbeat, always ready to talk. I knew I hadn't seen either one of you this summer, but had no idea anyone was ill. Angie will be surely and sorely missed.
Ken

We are very sadden to read of Angie's death. The short time we knew her she was a delight.

We are so sorry for your loss. Angie will be missed. Kitsy and Andrew Babb
