Mrs. Jeffrey Lee Waters

Celebrating The Life Of Jeffrey Lee Waters: JEFFREY LEE WATERS was born on July 1st to Rose Robinson and James P. Holly “Big Daddy” in Canton, Mississippi. After graduating from Cameron High School she moved to Detroit, Michigan for the summer to work in her Uncle Isadore Holly’s North End cleaners. It was her “Uncle Doe”, as he was fondly called, who introduced her to Scott Memorial United Methodist Church, at the time located on St. Antoine and East Kirby. This led to a life-long union between Jeffrey and Scott Memorial UMC to this very day. Under the watchful eye of her Uncle, she became an active participant of Usher Board #2 and later a committed communion steward and member of the finance committee, tallying and recording weekly contributions to the church - overall a dedicated and integral congregant. It was while visiting Detroit that she met George M. Waters. To this union two children were born, Gloria and LaSaundra. George and Jeffrey were dedicated parents both sacrificing for the well-being and education of their children. She worked for many years, retiring from Harper Hospital. However, George and Jeffrey also found much joy in their union. Both enjoyed traveling and cruising throughout the United States and Caribbean. They were also both avid bridge players, she a member of the Detroit Bridge Unit. In June 1969 she became a grandmother and in December 2012 she became a great-grandmother, relishing the opportunity to indulge and raise two more generations. Jeffrey was a nurturer and a teacher, a woman with an indomitable spirit. She instilled in her children a sense of responsibility and the will to achieve. Her children and grandchild attended and graduated from college with graduate degrees and advanced certifications to spare. Jeffrey joined her Lord and Savior and entered her eternal rest on April 16, 2015. She leaves as her legacy, her strength, love and wisdom. Jeffrey was respected by all who knew her and she will be often remembered and dearly missed. *In lieu of flowers the family as for you to consider making a dontation in the name of Mrs. Jeffrey L.
