Martha Louise Jeffries

Martha Louise Jeffries, 71, went to be with the Lord after a short battle with cancer. Martha loved looping and her close friends whose company she enjoyed while doing all sort of needlework. The "Friday Girls" would get together every week and enjoy each other's company while doing their favorite stitching. Called "Mimi" by her grandchildren, she loved spending time with Roman and Angelina and doing what grandmothers do best; showering them with love, affection and the occasional trip to Dairy Queen.

"Sister" as she was called by her Son-In-Law David, loved to travel the world with her family and particularly loved the Smokie Mountains. She also loved cats and she enjoyed birdwatching.

Martha was preceded in death by her brother Dennis Connel, her mother Sara Connel and her father Lawton Connel. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, George Bower Jeffries, Jr., her daughter Donna Tyson, her son-in-law David Tyson and her beloved grandchildren Roman and Angelina Tyson, all of Saint Augustine, Florida.
