Betti Drury Obituary

Betti H. DRURY Thirty feet from the waters of Puget Sound in her Richmond Beach home of 42 years, Betti H. Drury peacefully passed away. She was 89 years old. Betti was born on December 28, 1921 in Tacoma Washington. Throughout her life she delighted in the activities and accomplishments of her sons Bob and Tom with wife Donna and daughter Kathee with husband Dick who survive her as well as the many children of her friends, especially Dr. Lindsey Caley and her sister Kyleen. Her photo albums provided her late in life with all the remembrances of fun times with her extended family: Judy and Jerry Alhadeff, Bob and Dorothy Drury, Kathy Gregory, Debbie Warren, Robin Faulkner, and Amy Esary. And a special thank you to all the wonderful Hospice Providence people we met that made her last days as comfortable as possible. With a special thanks to Cris Maryhill, (Hospice) who made us believe that Angels do walk on earth. At mom's request no service will be preformed. In lieu of flowers please send any donations to your local Humane Society or Animal Rescue Shelter.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
