Nelda Guerrero Drury
April 23, 1918 - February 21, 2019
Nelda Drury was the founder of SAFDF, a folk dance teacher extraordinaire, and a treasure of the dance community.
Nelda’s inspiration and passion for folk dancing cannot be overstated. A 1995 Ford Salute to Education Award summarizes this contribution nicely:
Nelda is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth “Liz” Newton, her son Jimmy Drury, and several grandchildren.
