Kendra Ann Jeffcoat

I was a 17 year old first- time junior college student, who left high school a year early, when I had my first class with Dr. Jeffcoat. I was wholly unprepared for college- emotionally and academically. I had little to no family support. Not only did Dr. Jeffcoat inspire my mind- she inspired my soul and my sense of self.

Dearest Jay, After how many many long years, I will be traveling to visit friends again in your area in September (2023) and was hoping while there to renew my long ago friendship with Kendy and with you.

My deepest condolences. Sorry I have not reached out until now, but Dr. Jeff coat was one of my favorite professors. She was beautiful and intelligent. It was an honor to be in her presence. May she RIP.

Kendra,

What can I say. An Angel among us....

Jay,Ryan,& Kasey I never met Kendra but reading some of the obituaries about her she was loved by many people I just want to share my deepest sympathy and let you know that I knew your grandfather Bill would love to share stories about him.

Dr. Jeffcoat was a WONDERFUL WOMAN and she assisted so many people and students. I will remember her. Rosemarie
