Drusilla was a 1957 graduate of Monrovia High School. She worked as a Bank Teller for Indiana National Bank. She later was employed in the cafeteria at Mooresville Schools for 5 years, at St. Susanna school in Plainfield and at Mooresville school, where she also was a crossing guard.

Drusilla was in awe of her mother's quilt making abilities and was always eager to talk about those quilts with anyone she came into contact with. She enjoyed going to garage sales, and loved antiquing to find the best treasure she could. She loved traveling to Kentucky to spend time with her family there. The highlight of her days was spending time with all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren who fondly recall her saying "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck"...and "that's about all I know!"

A private graveside service will be held at a later date at Mt. Pleasant at Hall Cemetery in Hall, IN. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Jones Family Mortuary in Mooresville.
