Patricia Gail Grant Jeffreys

Patricia Gail Grant Jeffreys, age 73, of Hoover, Alabama, passed away on August 27, 2022
after valiantly battling a brief illness. She was surrounded by her loving family. Gail was born on
July 31, 1949 in Fulton County, Georgia. She graduated from College Park High School and
attended Georgia State University. She was preceded in death by her father, Charles Eugene
Grant, her mother, Lavene Adamson Grant and her middle sister, Susan Grant Walsh (Jim). She
leaves behind her twin daughters, Jennifer Jeffreys Phillips ( Robbie) and Christy Jeffreys
Manning, both of Mount Olive; the father of her children, James B. Jeffreys of Cullman, her six
adoring grandchildren; Noah Phillips, Braeden Manning, Will Phillips, Luke Phillips, Harper
Manning and Finn Manning; her sister, Becky Grant Gay (Jerry) of Kimberly, and six nieces and
nephews. Gail was retired from the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist
Church, where she worked as an office manager. She lived her life in service of others and was
a friend to many. She enjoyed her work but felt most at home raising her girls and in her later
years, being the best “Nonna” to her grandchildren. The lessons she taught and the love that
she gave leaves an indelible mark on those who were fortunate enough to know her. A
celebration of life is planned for early September.
“The purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make
some difference that you have lived and lived well.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
