Beloved wife of Bill (Clayton) Drury predeceased 1999. Loving mother of Cheryl Milette (Larry) and Janet Drury. Cherished grandmother of Krystal, Grant (Lisa), Amber (Angus).

Sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Born in Britt, Leona married her beloved husband Bill, whom she met while he was visiting Britt on a fishing trip. They were married at The Holy Family Parish in Britt and moved to Toronto before moving to Sudbury and raising a family. She most enjoyed spending time with Bill and family at the cottage in Britt where she spent many sunny days out on the waters of Georgian Bay. She loved to dance and be the life of every celebration. She lived her life for her family, especially her grandchildren with whom she shared a special connection. She will be remembered as a caring, generous and loving person and for her sense of humour. She will be forever loved and greatly missed by her family. “We don’t know how to live without you Leona, but we will find comfort every time we see a hummingbird dance in the wind.” Her family would like to give a special thank you to Julie, who provided excellent care and companionship to Leona in her last years and to the staff and members of the VON Adult Day Program, who were special friends to Leona. At Leona’s request, there will be no visitation or funeral service. A special celebration of life memorial mass will be held in the summer in Britt, Ontario. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Holy Family Parish (Britt, Ontario) or the VON Adult Day Program Sudbury. Arrangements entrusted to Sudbury Park Lawn Cremation Services.
