            <text>Amanda (Mandy) Rae Jeffers, a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 16, 2025 at the age of 47. She brought joy, laughter, and unwavering love to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.&#13;
&#13;
Mandy approached life with a unique light that touched all who crossed her path. She especially loved spending time with those she cared about most—her family, her circle of close friends, and the staff who became like family to her.&#13;
&#13;
Mandy had a passion for crossword puzzles. She also loved to express her pride and community spirit by wearing her favorite school shirt. &#13;
&#13;
One of her most cherished hobbies was making wreaths—each one crafted with care, creativity, and love. She took great joy in giving them to others, using her hands and heart to share a little piece of herself. &#13;
&#13;
We extend a heartfelt thank you to Inclusions, who truly became her second family. Your loving care gave Mandy the incredible gift of independence while also keeping her connected to a social, supportive environment. &#13;
&#13;
Mandy is survived by her brothers Kevin (Crissy) Tanner and Curt (Kellie) Jeffers, Nephews Jet Tanner and Curtis Jeffers, nieces Emily and Ashley Jeffers, great niece, Everly, aunts, uncle, and many cousins. &#13;
&#13;
Mandy is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Belinda Nease, father, Ronald Jeffers, grandparents, and her uncle, Thomas Shaffer. &#13;
&#13;
Calling hours will be held from 11:00 to 1:00 on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 at Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy, Ohio.&#13;
&#13;
Funeral services will begin immediately following visitation with Pastor, John Swanson officiating. &#13;
&#13;
Burial will take place at Memorial Gardens. &#13;
&#13;
 &#13;
&#13;
Mandy will be missed, remembered, and loved—always.</text>
