Nathalie Cardenas

She was raised in South Gate, California, and Manor, Texas, where she built the foundation of the person so many came to know and love.

Nathalie was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, family member, and friend. Throughout her life, she touched the hearts of

countless people and was deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Nathalie graduated from Manor High School before continuing her education at the University of Texas at Arlington. In 2023,

she proudly earned her Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies. After graduating, she took a brief break from her studies and began her professional career as a project manager. She embraced this opportunity, worked hard to establish herself, and soon set her sights on another goal: continuing her education by pursuing a master's degree in Business.

Throughout her life, Nathalie accomplished so much through her determination, independence, and dedication to building a future for herself. In early 2024, she achieved the milestone of purchasing her own home, a reflection of her hard work and perseverance. When she first moved in, she started with very little, but through her own efforts, she transformed it into a home that truly reflected her personality and style. From her bedroom and office to the guest room, every space was thoughtfully decorated in her own unique way. She also worked hard to purchase the car she had always wanted.

Nathalie took pride in her accomplishments and continually challenged herself to grow, succeed, and become the best version of herself. Beyond her accomplishments, Nathalie will be remembered most for the beautiful person she was. She was sweet, caring, selfless, and wonderfully goofy. She had a heart that was always willing to give, a spirit that brought joy to those around her, and a genuine desire to see the people she loved succeed.

Nathalie was someone who consistently put others before herself, always offering her support, encouragement, and love. She wanted the very best for everyone in her life and never hesitated to show up

for those who needed her. Whenever she noticed someone feeling down, Nathalie would do everything she could to lift their spirits. With her contagious laugh and her familiar words, "Why you crying?" she had a special way of bringing comfort and reminding others that they were not alone. Her humor, warmth, and loving nature made even the difficult moments a little lighter.

Nathalie's life was filled with love, determination, laughter, and meaningful connections. She leaves behind memories that will

forever be cherished by her family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched. Although her presence will be deeply missed,

the love she shared, the kindness she showed, and the joy she brought into the lives of others will continue to live on.

Nathalie will forever be remembered, deeply loved, and never forgotten.
