It is with deep sorrow that we remember Epiphany Anderson of Sumter, South Carolina, whose untimely passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew her. A devoted Founding Office Coordinator and Leader Fellow at the Elementary Campus of Liberty STEAM Charter School, Ms. Anderson was more than an educator and administrator—she was a cornerstone of the school community and a source of daily inspiration to scholars, families, and colleagues alike.
From the earliest days of the school’s establishment, Ms. Anderson played a pivotal role in building not only its operational foundation but also its culture of care, respect, and excellence. She approached her work with unwavering dedication, always placing the needs of students at the center of her efforts. Her belief in the boundless potential of every child guided her actions, making her a trusted mentor and advocate for all.
Those who worked alongside her describe her as compassionate, dependable, and deeply committed to uplifting others. She had a remarkable ability to connect with people—whether offering encouragement to a struggling student, providing support to a colleague, or welcoming families with warmth and sincerity. Her presence brought a sense of stability and kindness that resonated throughout the campus.
In the wake of her passing, the Liberty STEAM community has come together in collective grief, honoring her legacy while supporting one another through this difficult time. Grief counselors have been made available to ensure that students and staff have the care they need, and academic activities have been paused to allow space for reflection, healing, and remembrance.
Though her life was cut short, Ms. Anderson’s impact endures. The values she championed—compassion, dedication, and belief in the power of education—will continue to guide the school she helped shape. Her memory lives on in the countless lives she touched and in the enduring mission she so passionately served.
Epiphany Anderson will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
