Natalia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many.

True to her alma mater, you could always find her in the stands cheering on the Robert E. Lee Gander football team. And oh yeah, you could hear her!!!

Natalia will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her; we were blessed to have had her in our lives, and she will always be in our hearts. Her legacy will live on through her many loved ones.
