| Notes THE NW ARKANSAS TIMES (Fayetteville, AR), Sunday, April 1, 2001: "Jack Warren Banister, resident of Fayettevile, Ark., beloved husband and father, died Wednesday, March 28, 2001, at Washington Regional Medical Center after a long illness and complications related to pulmonary hypertension. He was born to James Calvin and Dora Collier Banister on May 27, 1926, at home in Paris, Texas. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Luvenia 'Lu' Brown Banister; their daughter and son-in-law, Tamara and David Trzeciak; a sister, Juanita Prevey; and a brother, Robert L. Banister; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Jack was preceded in death by a daughter, Brenda Banister Price, and also a brother, Jimmy Banister. Jack taught himself to read at the age of 4 years, and thus began a lifelong love of books and learning. He served his country as a lieutenant J.G. in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1947, completing his duty aboard the destroyer Harry S. Hubbard in China and Korea. Jack earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees at North Texas University, and his Doctorate Degree in Medical Microbiology at the University of Wisconsin. He taught both medical students and nursing students at the Medical College of Georgia (Augusta, GA) for many years. Later, he was among the founding faculty of the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1980, Jack succeeded in turning his gardening hobby into a second career--becoming the dedicated horticulturalist for the newly landscaped grounds of Fort Worth Country Day School. The trees, shrubs, grass and the gardener flourished until his retirement in 1990. After retirement, he volunteered his time at the National Archives in Fort Worth, cataloging Native American Indian records. Jack enjoyed traveling to many places with his adored wife and they made many friends throughout the United States. They traveled to Nova Scotia, Scandinavia, Great Britain and Europe. Jack and Lu moved to Fayetteville, Ark., in June 1997, with their poodle Ginger. Throughout the Springs and Summers they enjoyed the flowers and people at the Farmer’s Market on the downtown Square. Jack was a member of the Fayetteville Library and volunteered his time and help at Ozark Literacy. He enjoyed the symphony at the Walton Arts Center and was an avid listener of National Public Radio. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Monday, April 2, 2001, at Nelson’s Funeral Home in Fayetteville. In lieu of flowers, please send memorials in honor and celebration of Jack’s life to either the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra or Washington Regional Medical Center, P.O. Box 356, Fayetteville, Ark., 72702, or Fayetteville Garden of the Square." On same stone as Luvenia Brown Banister and daughter Brenda Banister Price. |
