Shonda Kay Jeffers

Shonda Kay Jeffers, age 51 of Oneida, TN passed away on Monday, June 23, 2025. The family that loved her so much was by her side when she took her last breath here on earth and her first breath in the arms of Jesus.

Over the years we witnessed her faith flourish especially through the numerous challenges she faced. The last bout of sickness may have weakened her physical body, but her walk with the Lord deepened in a way that inspired everyone around her. It was truly a breathtaking sight to behold. She never needed a spotlight. Her life spoke volumes through her strength, her faith, her prayers, her love, and her simple steady encouragement. Her legacy will continue to encourage all of us.

Shonda was born in Pine Knot, KY on December 3, 1973, to Shernie Burchfield Stephens. Shonda married the love of her life Raymond Jeffers on October 29, 1994.
