work at Redfearn Law Firm, before

returning to Mutual Benefit Life. The

company grew and changed names

to Fortis Benefits and now Assurant

Employee Benefits, where she was

still employed. She cherished the

many friendships she developed over

the years with everyone she worked

with. Carla married her high school

love, Troy Jeffries, on April 13, 1991.

They made their home in Sibley, MO

raising their two beautiful daughters,

Samantha Louise and Shannon

Elizabeth. Carla enjoyed time with

her family and friends. She was a

supportive wife, fantastic mother and

loyal friend. Carla enjoyed reading,

cross-stitch, watching the Royals

and, most of all, the countless hours

dedicated to her girls cheerleading.
