It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Alumni, Band Booster Executive President /Member/Parent , Leader, Motivator, but most of all; our dear Friend Anesia Oliver-Banister. Anesia, loved the band and worked tirelessly to make sure her “babies” were taken care of and had what they needed. As an alumni of Westover High School & Marching Band, Anesia was passionate and empathetic to those she came in contact with and enjoyed working with her fellow band booster members/parents and welcomed them with an open heart. Even in her sickness we experienced her as a very positive-thinking, strong,faithful, respectful, fun-loving and nimble-minded person who enjoyed exploring new topics as Mr. Eaddy’s right-hand lady. By going beyond the call of duty, Anesia always found gentle and heart-warming words of comfort given to her “babies”, booster parents, and community.
We will miss her as being the pilar of our band booster & meetings. We remain with a deep feeling of gratitude for everything she has done and to have been blessed to know her. Our heart goes out to her family and loved ones. We love you, Anesia!!!
