Mary Lynnette Drury

Mary Lynnette Drury, 59, passed away at her home on Wednesday. March 19, 2025, surrounded by those she loved most. Mary was born the middle child of Allen "Pedro" Drury and Mary Jane "Bill" Crews Groover on October 6, 1965 in Folkston, GA.

Mary was an incredibly smart, resourceful, strong, independent, fun, and loving mama, granny, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and cousin. She was at her very best when she was a caregiver; taking care of those who needed her made her happy. Mary enjoyed and was incredibly good at growing plants and flowers. She could grow and nurture anything from even the smallest of clippings. Mary also enjoyed listening to Southern Rock, reading, going to the river, which she called her "happy place," and she was an amazing cook. Even if she had nothing else to offer, she wanted to make sure you were fed. Mary had a heart the size of a mountain. If she loved you, she loved you forever and you never had to question it.

Mary is predeceased by her mother: Mary Jane Crews Groover; her grandson: Clayton Carter; and her step-mother: Diane Hickox Drury.

Left to deeply mourn her passing are her children: Nikki Brantley (Nathan), Jake Carter (Megan), Bill Musgrove, and Katie Chamberlain (Miranda); her father: Allen "Pedro" Drury; a brother: Jim Drury (Valerie); a sister: Tracy Lloyd (Mitchell); a step-brother: Dale Hickox; and a step-sister: Angie Furr (Terry); 13 grandchildren: Blaine, Bryant, Willy, Rebecca, Abby, Kalli, Caleb, Kelly, Kinsley, Wesley, Keegan, Hunter, and Peyton; a great-grandchild: Harlan; several nieces and nephews, and many dear cousins who were more like sisters.

The family would like to thank Hearth Hospice for taking such good care of Mary while she was home. Their care and compassion for our loved one was beyond compare.
