Natalie Crombez

Natalie was born on October 20, 1935 in Detroit, daughter of Melvin and Freda Coble. She grew up and graduated from high school in Detroit, and then married Charles Crombez on July 25, 1953.

She enjoyed hunting with her husband, especially when they would travel across the country to hunt. A collector of Antiques, Natalie enjoyed playing solitaire and was an avid skeeball player with her grandkids. She had a great love for her dogs but she most enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She will be greatly missed.

In addition to her parents, Natalie was preceded in death by her daughter Gail Johnson in 1997, and a brother Melvin Coble, Jr.
