Born on March 9, 1934, in Bluff City, Arkansas, Nona was the cherished daughter of Obie Jefferson and Dora Rochelle Jefferson. Her life was a tapestry woven with love, resilience, and an unwavering spirit that touched all who knew her. Nona's journey through life was marked by her dedication to her family and her steadfast commitment to her community. As a devoted mother, she poured her heart into raising her three beloved children, Karyn B., Keith A., and Diron W. (Carla) Bolar, who all reside in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her nurturing spirit and wisdom left an indelible mark on her seven grandchildren, among whom Gregory Hill and Marquios Hodge, who preceded her in death, hold a special place in her memory.
