Anita Banks

Banks, Anita Bell Glover , age 92, passed away on October 19, 2020 in the loving care of the staff of Quality Center for Rehab and Healing in Lebanon, TN.  She was born in Cowan, Tennessee on March 26, 1928 to the late Estill Allen Bell and Annie Finney Bell.  Anita graduated from Knoxville High School, Knoxville, TN, in 1946 and from the University of Tennessee in 1950.

Anita was a longtime resident of Bristol, TN, moving there in 1960.  Anita touched the lives of many students during her teaching career at Bluff City High, Junior High, and Middle Schools and Sullivan North High School.  After retirement, she remained active through her volunteer work for Addilynn Memorial United Methodist Church, Meals on Wheels of Bristol and Sullivan County Retired Teachers.  She loved her books, often reading a book a day, even in her later years.  An avid sports fan, she especially enjoyed watching her beloved Tennessee Volunteers teams as they played football and basketball.
