 DRURY, PATSY RUTH Patsy Ruth Drury, age 83, passed away April 7, 2014 in Albuquerque NM. Patsy was born February 28, 1931 in Hopkins County TX. to George and Lena Swinford. She was preceded in death, November 3, 2013, by her loving husband Calvin. She is survived by daughters Cynthia Jobe, husband Olin, Theresa Drury, partner Lenore Sanchez; sons Ronald Anders, Danny Drury, wife Lori, Kenneth Drury, wife Sherrie and Randy Drury; also ten grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Patsy enjoyed being active. Even in her seventies she bowled in several leagues and walked the north valley ditch trails for hours each week. Patsy always loved being around children. Many joyful Sundays were spent working at St Michael and All Angels child care. Her bright eyes would sparkle as she told stories about "my babies at church". Patsy was one of ten children and she loved being part of a large family. For many years she and Calvin would pack up the kids and drive to east Texas for a family reunion. It was a large gathering and she was often the center of attention. She would have a year of stories to tell and her laughter filled the air. Patsy loved her family and friends. She cherished any time she could spend with them. She will always be loved and greatly missed. Patsy and Calvin lived the past few years at The Rehabilitation Center of Albuquerque. Her family greatly appreciates the care, friendship and love shown by everyone there, especially, Vickie and Marie. The family also extends a special thank you to Will of Hospice of the Sandias for his gentle care. A memorial service will be held April 14, 2014 at St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church, 601 Montano Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church.
