Nelawyn Dalley, age 87, went to be with our Lord and Savior. She was a lifetime resident of Dripping Springs until February of 2021. Due to health reasons she moved to Novice, Texas to live with her daughter and son-in-law, where she passed peacefully Wednesday, November 30, 2022, surrounded by the love of family and friends.
The family will host a visitation at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, December 10, 2022, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 a.m. at Drippings Springs Church of Christ, 470 Old Highway 290, in Dripping Springs with Jacob Rutledge officiating.

Nelawyn worked as an oral surgeon assistant and then worked for the Dripping Springs I.S.D. as secretary for the bus barn.
Nelawyn never met a stranger and would have a conversation with anyone. She enjoyed going out to eat and visiting with family and friends. Nelawyn and Doyle were known as “Grandma and Grandpa” to many of the people in Dripping Springs. She will be missed by all who knew her.
