Drury "Dru" Noreen Massey, 63, of Bauxite, Arkansas was born to Neil Hargus Adkins and Elverna D. (Khaneel) Adkins, on Monday, November 20th, 1961, in Reno, Nevada. She left this world too soon on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, surrounded by love. Dru was simply a country girl who loved getting her hands in the dirt. She loved bringing things to life and providing for her family. She enjoyed canning, gardening, music, and above all, spending time with her family. Dru's love for people and life in general was the reason she was such a joy to be around! Everyone that was lucky enough to know her cannot fathom life without her. There were people that loved her, and the rest just hadn't met her yet!

She is preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Vonda Adkins.

Left to cherish her memories is her loving husband of 29 years, Denver Massey; one son, Austin Massey; her niece, Staccia Hibbs; along with other family and friends who all love her and will miss her dearly.

There is no services scheduled at this time.

Dial and Dudley Funeral Home is honored to by entrusted with the care of Dru and her family.
