In 1996,Virginia and I joined Collierville Unitrd Methodist Church after moving to Collierville from East Memphis and transferring our membership from Christ Metthodist.
After the service, Frances was waiting at the door to invite us to join her Sunday School
Class which we did. Next, she had Virginia join her Church Circle. Our social friendship
grew with Redbirds games, Pickwick boating, etc. Frances was the Southern Lady
with charm, grace, and joy. She faced death with courage that amazed many.
She will be missed.

Frances was such a beautiful and wonderful lady! When I met Frances, I felt I had always known her and she was so friendly. She had such a fun sense of humor and kept everyone laughing. Frances and my Mom met at a family wedding and became fast friends and had fun dancing together. Sadly they both have died, but so thankful for their time together. Praying for the family to have comfort and peace during this heartbreaking time!

Frances was a beautiful lady in every way. If I had to describe her with only one word, I would say "grace"; always gracious and full of grace. Since I can use more words, I'll add loving, warm, encouraging, and faithful. Bob and I treasure her Christian witness, lovely smile, ready laugh, and hugs; such a blessing to all in our Open Door class.
A special memory: At our Christmas party just a few years before Dru passed over, toward the end she asked him if he'd gotten a gift. He put his arm around her and said, "This is the only one I want to take home." Now they're rejoicing together!

Although I have called Frances a dear friend
for many years I never had the chance to know
her family. However, this I do know! Each of you
brought her great joy and helped her be the great
example to all of us by showing how Christians
meet adversity with a smile on their face. She will
truly be missed by so many.

Frances was an exercise buddy many years ago. I feel in love with her then and valued her friendship. She was so beautiful inside and out!! One year we were church conference delegates together. We had so much fun with her and Dru in Paducah.
I will miss her smiling face and her hugs after church services. All my prayers and love to her precious family❤️ Vicki Terry

Frances I am going to miss “my buddy “ sitting next to me in church and the many other things we did together. You were an amazing person and a special blessing to me. I shall miss you so much!

Frances was the first person to greet us when we visited the Church and Open Door Sunday school class years ago and I'm sure many, many others can say the same. Her faith, her smile and her wonderful sense of humor are great examples of Christian love. Jimmy and I are blessed to have known Frances and Dru.

So very sorry to hear of Mrs. Drurys passing. She was such a sweet lady who I never saw without a smile. Our families were neighbors when I was growing up in Whitehaven and I occasionally saw her out and about in Collierville. She always remembered me and asked about my children and parents. God Bless her and your families.
