The Pack family mourns the passing of Jessie Banks, a true legend of CSU Pueblo Athletics and a pioneer in women's sports.

Jessie's impact reached far beyond a single team or generation. She helped shape opportunities for student-athletes across our department, leaving a lasting legacy through her leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to the Pack. An eight-time Hall of Fame inductee, Jessie's accomplishments reflect a lifetime dedicated to excellence, equity, and the advancement of collegiate athletics.

Her passion for CSU Pueblo, her competitive spirit, and her care for student-athletes will never be forgotten. Jessie changed lives, strengthened our community, and helped build the foundation of who we are today.

We extend our deepest condolences to Jessie's family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know her. We'll share information about opportunities for our community to honor and celebrate her remarkable life soon.

Once a member of the Pack, always a member of the Pack.

Rest in peace, Jessie.
