Andrew “Andy” P. Jeffery, 84, of Plainfield, passed away peacefully on Thursday afternoon, April 30, 2026, at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Tomah, with his daughter by his side.
Born on March 21, 1942, in Milwaukee to James C. Sr. and Catherine M. (Borosch) Jeffery, Andy spent most of his life in Plainfield. He graduated from Tri County High School and later married Donna Marshall on July 3, 1971. They shared nearly 46 years of love and memories together before her passing in 2017.
Andy proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict and was honorably discharged in 1968. After returning home, he devoted 35 years to Smurfit-Stone in Adams, where he operated and worked on several machines and later served as a Tooling/Die Coordinator.
He also served his community with great pride as a member of the Plainfield Volunteer Fire Department for 27 years. During that time, he helped restore an antique fire truck and cooked countless chicken dinners for the department’s annual Fireman’s Jamboree.
Andy is survived by his daughter, Kerry (Derek) Freeman; his grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, James Sr. and Catherine Jeffery; his wife, Donna; his sisters, Rosemary Dewitt and Eleanor Keenlance; his brother, James Jeffery Jr.; his parents-in-law, Russell and Charlotte Marshall; brothers-in-law Robert Ward and Archie Neal; and sisters-in-law Jen Marshall and Karen Neal.
Honoring Andy’s wishes, no funeral services will be held. A graveside service for all will take place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at 11 a.m. where Andy will be laid to rest next to his wife in the Plainfield Cemetery with full military honors.
