Leroy Paul Jeffery Obituary (1939 - 2021)

Leroy Paul Jeffery began his life on June 3, 1939. He was the fifth of six children born to Bernard and Elvonia Oubre-Jeffery. He was the devoted husband of Eula Stevens Jeffery. This union brought forth two children, Terrence and Michelle Jeffery. He departed this life on February 13, 2021. Leroy was a construction worker and truck driver. He worked in and around the Vacherie area for many years. Sometimes he commuted back and forth out of town for construction work. Leroy's hobbies were gardening, fishing, hunting and making wine that he never drank. He especially liked gardening. Many times, he would give his sisters, neighbors, and friends some of his vegetables. If he would catch any fish, he would give most of those away. If he brought back any rabbits from hunting, he would give all those away. He also liked football games. His favorite team was the Saints. Prior to his death, he wasn't able to do much because of his declining health. But with the help of his brother Roland and his close friend, Reginald Borne, he was able to have a small garden.
