Obituary

Joan Carolyn Hannah-Jeffries was born in Tallahassee, Florida, March 23, 1961 and passed on December 24, 2015.  Joan loved life, her family, and friends.  Her faith in God provided her the strength, courage, and determination to persevere through life's challenges. Joan was the fourth oldest of seven siblings, and she grew up in a military family.  Joan graduated in 1979, from Reid Ross Senior High School, in Fayetteville, NC and moved to Greensboro, NC in 1979 to study at the North Carolina A&T University. While there, she played the flute in the Blue and Gold Marching Machine and continued to develop her musical gifts. In 1983, she moved to Savannah, Georgia to further develop her gift for fashion design and the arts at the Savannah School of Art and Design (SCAD), in Savannah, Georgia.  In 1986, she married James Jeffries, and the couple had two sons, Stephen James Alexander Jeffries and Samuel Edward Quenton Jeffries.  In 1995 she was conferred an Associate of Science Degree in General Business Administration and Management from Brookstone College, in Greensboro NC. Joan worked for the Greensboro Transit Authority, Moses Cone Hospital, and held several administrative positions supporting Department Heads at NC A&T, until her entrepreneurial essence led her to conceive and establish her own business, which she named â??Promoting Yourself from Within.â??  Joanâ??s business specialized in fundraising, event management, fashion design, beauty consulting, sewing, and custom hand crafted arts and crafts.  A memorial service to celebrate the life of Joan Carolyn Hannah-Jeffries is scheduled for Saturday morning, January 10, 2015 at 11:00AM, at United Institutional Baptist Church, 802 East Market Street, Greensboro, NC 27401.
