Jeanette Lee aka The Black Widow... See blog in comments... ~ Physical strength is measured by what we carry. Inner strength is measured by what we can bear. ~ |

A story appeared on ESPN yesterday afternoon about Jeanette. She is a 49 year old billiard player, diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, that has metastasized to her lymph nodes. The doctors give her between 3 months to a year to live... The news was horrible to hear about anyone, especially someone you know. Jeanette and I were never close. She was a successful billiard player, who was sponsored, and playing on ESPN in the 1990's and early 2000's. I was a semi-professional who was never quite able to get to her level. My success was at smaller tournaments and after hours gambling with men. But at one of these tournament I played well enough, to play Jeanette who was waiting in the winners bracket. I had played all day through the losers bracket. Our finals match would be played the next day. And I did struggle to sleep that night. The match was competitive between us. The first one to win 9 games of 9 ball. Jeanette won the match and the tournament by the score of 9-5. I will never forget her graciousness to me. She congratulated me on a great tournament and told me what a good player I was... She is a class act all the way. And my heart goes out to her... I always wondered what happened to these female players who played on ESPN? Because I had played several of them in tournaments, and even beat a couple of them. But American billiards was a hard sport to promote and even harder to be extremally successful at... ~ Could anybody please tell me how to fix a sideways photo?~ ~ Physical strength is measured by what we carry.

Thanks for sharing! While I don’t know her well, Jeanette wanders through our pool room here in Central Florida on occasion. A wonderful, talented, classy person, who gives freely of herself. Devastating news for the pool community and she’s in all of our thoughts and prayers. There is a go fund me page to help with expenses for anyone interested...

I can't say I've ever watched her play on ESPN but my heart and prayers go out to her.

Sad to hear this news, although I don't know the lady. I can only wish her the best in her fight.
