It is with deep love and heavy hearts that the family of Vera Jeffries announces her peaceful passing on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the age of 90. Born on March 31, 1935, in Jacksonville, Florida, Vera lived a life rich with love and purpose. In her final moments, she left this world surrounded by her family, evoking the warmth and connection that defined her essence.

Vera was a proud and loving mother of five children, cherishing each moment spent with them. Her legacy continues through her eight grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, who carry forward the enduring values of love and compassion she instilled in them. Vera had an extraordinary ability to touch the lives of everyone she met, embodying strength and courage through each challenge. Despite the aches and pains that life brought her way, she faced every day with a spirit of determination and hope.

Throughout her life, Vera worked at numerous jobs, including the trucking industry, often holding down two positions while raising her beloved family. Her dedication was unwavering, as she balanced the demands of work with her passion for collecting glassware—a hobby that brought her immense joy. Vera was also deeply involved in her church, playing piano for services and teaching Sunday school at every place of worship she attended. She retired from her role at Old Plank Baptist Church, where she dedicated over twenty years to nurturing the spiritual growth of her community's children.

In addition to her church activities, Vera had a fascination with computer graphics. She became a member of a graphics club that allowed her to share her creativity and expertise with people all around the world. Through her artistry, she communicated her love, knowledge, and wisdom, leaving a lasting impression on those who were fortunate enough to connect with her work.

Death comes for us all in the end, and there’s nothing we can do about it, but to be able to look back on a life well lived is up to us. Delaine was able to look back on her life and smile, and we smile because she was a part of ours. Rest easy.
