Trellie Jeffers

I am deeply saddened to just learn of Dr. Jeffers' passing. She and I were colleagues at Talladega College during my tenure there from 1988 to 1999. She was a positive influence on me during my formative academic years. My sincerest condolences to her entire family. Rest in everlasting peace, Dr. Jeffers.

I had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Jeffers during my years as a student at Talladega College (1989-1993). As I reflect upon her distinct voice...her contagious passion for poetry and African American Literature, I feel blessed and honored to have encountered such a beautiful star. May she continue to shine bright through everyone she touched and the generations we are connected to.

Our prayers go out to the family during this time of loss and grief. Koleta Moore and family

Our condolences to the Jeffers & Thompson Family! It was a pleasure meeting Trellie at the wedding of her grandson to our daughter! She´s shown continuous love and support to great grandsons, Kyle & Kody that we lovingly share! Seeing you again last year was wonderful; although the circumstances that brought us together were sad! Thank you for impacting our lives in such a positive way! May you rest in eternal peace!

Sincerely,
