A visitation was held on Monday, August 11, 2025 at the Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO. A private family burial was held at Crescent Hill Cemetery in Adrian, MO.

Jean was born on September 12, 1930, in Harrisonville, MO, south of the square. Jean was the daughter of John and Ada Alice (Oram) Osborn. She grew up in the Everett community and attended Oak Grove grade school. She then attended Harrisonville High School and graduated in 1948. Jean married Robert L. Drury on August 15, 1947, at the First Baptist Church in Harrisonville and celebrated their 60th wedding before Robert's passing on February 13, 2008. They were life long residents of Archie, MO, living in the big white house across from the grain elevator for over 40 years.

Jean worked briefly at Bendix, earned her cosmetology license, and raised five children. She enjoyed arranging flowers, crocheting, and sewing. She and Bob enjoyed going to Branson. They had season tickets to Silver Dollar City to see the craft shows and enjoy the music. Most of all, Jean loved to bowl and became a very good bowler. Jean and Bob enjoyed being in bowling leagues and she continued to bowl in multiple leagues 3 to 4 times a week until Covid forced her to stay home. She won many trophies for her bowling abilities and gained good friends through this sport that kept her active.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bob; and a brother, Billy John Osborn. She is survived by her five children: Robert Drury and his wife, Vickie, of Harrisonville, MO; Gary Drury and his wife, Rose, of Archie, MO; Deborah Nichols and her husband, James, of Murfreesboro, TN; Rick Drury and his wife, Cindy, of Archie, MO; and Bill Drury and his wife, Diane, of Adrian, MO; six grandchildren: Shannon (Melissa) Drury, Brandon Drury, Chris (Jen) Nichols, Clay Nichols, Doug Drury, and Molly (Benny) Palmer; and three great-grandchildren: Alexis Drury, Quinn Palmer, and Max Palmer.
