Mrs. Jeffery was the cornerstone in Wabash Circle. She was a mother to a lot of us and she would watch us as we played fouch football in the street. We love you and you will be missed. 2B8 C

I am deeply sadden by Ms. Alice Jeffery's passing. I was just visiting her on Sunday and today, she is in Glory. Ms. Jeffery was always her authentic self. I loved that about her. If I was away too long, she sent me and my children cards or called to check. I have a few words to describe Ms. Jeffery. She was: kind, firm, spunky, determined, thoughtful, smart, dedicated, independent, thoughtful, faithful, comical and loving, but you'd better not touch her. I will miss you dearly at the MET. Be comforted family and know she is resting in the loving arms of The Lord.

To the Jeffery Family, I am deeply saddened by Sis. Alice's passing. We worked closely together in the Womens Dept. of the Progressive Natl. Bapt. Convention. At this difficult time I wish for each of you the healing power of many beautiful memories. Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Lovingly, Elizabeth E. Bell, Phila., Pa. The Lord Be Praised!!

With deepest sympathy I would like the Jeffery family to know that I am praying for them. May God lighten their hearts. I’m a big hugger and as most of you who knew her she did NOT!! I would TAKE me a hug every time I saw her, and she would fuss but I knew it was all in love! Rest peacefully Mrs. Jeffery. We will miss you ❤️
