KATHLEEN “KATHY” JEFFRIES
Kathleen “Kathy” Jeffries, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, September 22, 2021. A Cincinnati native, Kathy earned her cosmetology license and cut the hair of everyone in her family, including giving perms to many of the girls. A wonderful mom to Kerry and Angie, Kathy always put everyone else first and never complained about anything. She never wanted attention and certainly didn’t want her picture taken. Kathy had a humorous nature about her and always made people laugh even when she wasn’t trying. She loved to read and enjoyed putting puzzles together with her mom and siblings. She was a fanatic about politics and would watch it, talk about it and read it on a daily basis. Kathy also enjoyed going to the casino to play slot machines with Ron and Kerry. She went so often, grocery shopping became less of a need because of the great dinners they received at the casino. Kerry and Angie remember all the fun field trips their mom volunteered for at school, even field trips for other classes. The best Mamaw ever, Kathy loved to spoil her grandchildren.
Kathy will be greatly missed by her husband of more than 50 years, Ron; her son Kerry Jeffries of Logan and daughter Angie (Brian) Henkel of Aurora; grandchildren Morgan and Cameron Henkel; and siblings Albert Ibold of Hamilton, Robert (Linda) Ibold of Orlando, FL, Charlene Lainhart of Cincinnati, Michael (Vivian) Ibold of Logan, Linda Rohe of Lebanon, Donald Ibold of Hamilton, Mary Grace (Mike) Catron of Kentucky, Mark Ibold of Cincinnati, and Penny Wilson of Knoxville, Tennessee. Kathy is preceded in death by her parents Virginia and Charles Ibold and step-brother Sonny Ibold.

I also live at the bottom of the hill directly behind First Financial and I have big ruts in my driveway that is gravel due to the heavy rain coming off the hill. Also, for the first time in over twenty years I have a musty smell in my house.
