Rockin-Roxanne

Hello to all fans,

In 2019 we are planning to devote a section of our website at Rockin-Roxanne.com to pay tribute to those in the industry we have lost over the years and could very much use the help of fans who may have first had knowledge regarding those in the industry who have passed.   

As many of you know, we specialize in rare and hard to find female wrestling, boxing and mixed matches and with many items being several decades old, we have sadly become aware that some of people who have helped shape the industry are no longer with us.   We know of some,  such as Mildred Burke and Judell Dulong, but it's our hope that many of the older fans on this forum are aware of many that we are not aware of.

We are also interested not just in our favorite women who have passed but also those on the male side and the producers side,  as we would like to be a premier resource to acknowledge and pay tribute to  those who have passed and their contributions to the industry.

So if anyone out there is aware of anyone who has passed on, it would be appreciated if you could email me at
rox@rockin-roxanne.com (or reply to this post) with not only the names of anyone who is no longer with us, but also any details,  such as where and when they passed and at what age should you know that info..

With your help we hope to have add a section Memorizing those who have been part of our industry in February 2019.

Thanks in advance for any and all help and I wish everyone a healthy and happy Holiday season.

Xoxo,
Roxanne

Thank you to everyone who has replied so far as it is much appreciated.

I am quickly realizing that it would be helpful to also get any details of anyone's passing and in some cases perhaps a link to where I could find a picture of anyone mentioned as there are a few that are not known to me.

Also,  to the person or anyone else who would know,  is the Candy referenced from Leather & Lace the blonde with the space between her teeth who also was known as Kelli Thomas?  That would be a real surprise to learn,  so any additional details would be appreciated.   Same would apply for the person who mentioned Candy Samples and Uschi as I was not aware of those either.

Again,  thanks to everyone for your help.

Judell Dulong's Daughter In Law,  Ursula Dulong was killed in a motorcycle accident.  Also Pro Wrestler Vivian Vachon was killed in a car accident as was body builder Kay Baxter.

Candi (aka Kelli Thomas) died in 2017. You mentioned her in connection with Leather & Lace but she worked for a large number of other companies as well - CalSupreme, DT Wrestling, Ozone, Steel Kittens, Joan Wise and probably others besides those.

Candy samples, Uschi and Annie Owen I think
When did Uschi pass? :-\

I'm a little suspect if Uschi or Candy Samples passed away.   That's why I wish those who reply to this post would give us a little more detail or something we can verify.   On that note,  if anyone has any more details regarding the passing of Candy (Kelli Thomas) as that one is quite surprising as she was still quite young.

I also read Kelli Thomas (Candy) passed. I believe it was from breast cancer about a year ago.

I forgot that the girl who went by Santana was actually murdered by a boyfriend a year or two ago.   She wrestled for a few different companies such as Double Trouble and California Supreme just to name a couple.
Did anybody ever confirm if Uschi actually passed?

Lisa and Heather from
lisacatfights.com aka lcfproduction.com aka catfightuniversity.com

Do you have any idea what happen to them as they appear quite young if we are talking about the same Lisa and Heather.  Plus that would rather odd that both would pass.

I've included pictures of both the Lisa and Heather I am referring to taken around 2006:
