Kathleen worked as a CNA in the Healthcare industry for many years. She absolutely loved to go fishing in her spare time. She also enjoyed going on camping trips with her family and friends, which would obviously also include some fishing. Kathy also liked to shop, go on long drives in the country with her husband, visit the Busch Wildlife Preserve, listen to Country music, and, most importantly, spend quality time with her family. She will be remembered for her honesty, sassy sense of humor, her cool and easy-going way of life, and for the love and the care that she showed everyone she knew. Kathleen Mary Jeffries will truly be missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
