My condolences to the family of Iris Jeffries. May God bless you in your time of sorrow. There are a couple of errors in the obituary. She graduated in 1955 instead of 1954 (which was my class) and the school was named Tri-City High School at the time, not Leaksville High. God bless you all in your sad time.
James Adkins
Iris was my neighbor for 27 years. She was always so happy to have a chat with her neighbors. May she rest in peace.

I love you Mamma. You will always and forever be in our hearts and our souls. Your daughter, Terrie ... and Grandsons, Zachary and Aaron. We love you too, Grandma Bugs.
Terrie Jeffries Silver
Thank you Mr. Adkins. We shall certainly update the information in our records. As she was the 16th of 16 children, I am sure it was an oversight. Thank you for your condolences. My best to you.
Terrie Jeffries Silver
Terrie, I agree with Mr. Adkins, I went to school with Iris from the 1st grade at Leaksville Graded and graduated with her in the class of 55 from Tri-City High School. I remember her very well and her brothers and sisters. She lived across the street from the Dyer's on Early or Irvin Ave. I always got them confused. I lived Williams St. one street over. May God continue to be with you and your family doing this time.
