DEBORAH ANN JEFFORDS
Marion
Deborah Ann Jeffords, 56, of Marion, left to be a spirit in the sky Friday, March 4, 2016. She passed very peacefully with loved ones by her side and now joins her beloved parents in heaven.
Pieces of her live on through her sons, Bryan and Josh Klein; also through her grandchildren, Brandon, Bryce, Brylee, Kegan and Alivia. She also leaves behind her companion of many years, Jim; and her pug, Minnie.
Deb was an outspoken woman who always told it like it was and told you exactly how she felt.
Over the years, she loved camping, riding Harleys, playing Bingo and most importantly, spending time with family and friends. She was a wonderful cook. She was a very giving person. She was an amazing lady who will never be forgotten and will be missed dearly by many.
The family invites you to gather together and share memories at her Celebration of Life on March 20 from noon to 6 p.m. at Wapsipinicon State Park Rotary Lodge in Anamosa.
