Denice A. Jeffers

Denice Ann Jeffers (Kirsch), age 61, was born on August 18, 1964, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and passed away peacefully in her Toledo home on January 3, 2026.

Denice was a beloved mother to Christopher, Stephanie (Mychael), and Nicholas (Caryssa), and a devoted grandmother to Michael, Paisley, Aubree, Liam, and Mila; who brought immense joy to her life.

She is survived by her siblings, Martin (Lisa), Gary, Jeff (Chrissy), and Mark. Denice was preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Bernice “Bunny” Kirsch.

Denice worked in various roles within the hospitality industry, but she found her greatest professional pride and fulfillment in her career at Jeep, where she was also a proud member of UAW Local 12.

Above all else, Denice had a deep love for people. She was known for her generous spirit, always willing to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, or a warm hug when it was needed most. She had a passion for baking and found true happiness in filling her home—and the homes of others—with sweet treats made with love.

A gathering to honor Denice’s life will be held at Toledo Metroparks Farmhouse at Wildwood, 4830 Central Avenue, Ottawa Hills, Ohio 43615 on Friday, January 16, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
