Natalie Ann Chelstowski

age of 76. Born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on July 22nd, 1949, to Alisa and Anthony Minichino. She

dedicated her life to her family, becoming a devoted wife to her late husband of forty-four years, David

Anothony Chelstowski, a loving mother to her children David and Marcie, and a doting and beloved

“Nana” to her grandchildren Sacha and Ricky. She will be remembered for her smile, kindness,

strong faith and generosity.

In her lifetime, she was an avid volunteer, whether at her children’s schools, local food banks, or her local

parish church. She happily and loyally worked with the University of Phoenix for almost twenty years,

including part time in her last months. She was known for her love for food and cooking, and her creative

crafting, which included quilting, card making and knitting. She was always making something, whether

as a gift for a friend or something to donate.

In her last years she was still actively knitting prayer shawls

for the sick and even caps and gloves for fellow cancer patients.

A funeral mass was held in her honor at St. Timothy’s Catholic Church on Thursday November 20th,

2025, followed by a burial service at the beautiful National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, where she

was reunited with her late husband and laid to rest in eternal peace.

In honor of her generous spirit, we encourage all who knew her to donate in her honor, whether to a

beloved charity of your choice, or to one from her list; Aid to Women’s Center, St. Jude Children’s

Research Hospital, or St. Mary’s Food Bank
