Ivan passed away in 1998 and Pauline passed away in 2014 at the age of 105. Ivan and Pauline lived on the Highway 1 farm for many years, raising sheep and grain; receiving the Hoosier Homestead Centennial designation by the State of Indiana for 100 years of family ownership.

Avis Stewart, Earlham Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Community Relations, was a long-time personal acquaintance of the Druleys and shared that “Ivan and Pauline were great supporters of Earlham athletics during their lifetimes. Their very generous estate gift follows their passion and will transform the Earlham Athletics and Wellness facilities in significant and long term ways. We are incredibly grateful to them and the legacy they have created.”
