Anniece Nichelle Weaver

Anniece Nichelle Weaver was born January 22, 1988 in Knoxville, Tennessee. She was joyfully welcomed into the world by her parents Terry Sr. and Millie-Yvonne along with her best friend and older brother, Robert Terry Weaver Jr.  Anniece was a vibrant, vivacious, and brilliant being, embracing life to the fullest. She was known for her beautiful smile, robust laughter, and incredible sense of humor. She grew up in the Oak Ridge, TN community where she attended Spurgeon Chapel AME Zion church.

Anniece was educated in the Oak Ridge School Systems where she excelled in academics and extracurricular activities. She was a member of the first Oak Ridge School System’s Spanish Immersion Program at Woodland Elementary. Anniece excelled in Track and Field throughout her time at Oak Ridge High School holding the school 4 x 4 relay record for several years. She also excelled in dance where she mastered classical ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance and performed competitively with the Oak Ridge Contemporary Dance Ensemble.  

Anniece obtained a BA in Anthropology and Psychology and a Masters of Public Health in Health Policy and Management from the University of Tennessee. She began her professional career as an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) Fellow at the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. After completing the ORISE fellowship she continued her career as an accomplished public health professional at the CDC in Atlanta. During her tenure, she held a variety of positions including Public Health Analyst, Global Health Policy Analyst, COVID-19 Task Force Coordinator, and Emergency Response Coordinator with the CDC Foundation.

Anniece was a very caring and loving person. With her outgoing personality, she never met a stranger and felt at home in almost any environment. Anniece loved to travel and following in her brother’s footsteps, she became a Children’s International Summer Village (CISV) delegate. At twelve she was selected as a delegate for Santiago, Chile making good use of her Spanish speaking skills. She would later become a CISV leader, taking four delegates to Norway. Anniece also served on the CISV Board of Directors.

Anniece was loving, kind, caring, generous, and absolutely brilliant. She loved meeting new people, doing new things, and stretching her abilities. Anniece was also a serious fashionista. To say she loved clothes would be an understatement. Most recently, she was working on a business venture –
a clothing line expressing her unique style. It was affectionately called loisandmaeco.com©, lovingly named for her grandmothers Deloris and Annie Mae.

On Sunday, October 24th, Anniece was carried to heaven on the wings of a dove into the arms of our Lord.
