Mrs. Sandra L. Natella

Mrs. Sandra Lucille Natella, age 64, passed away peacefully in her home on July 7, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Born and raised in Rhode Island on May 13, 1962, Sandra was a beacon of light, love, and unwavering positivity to everyone who knew her.

This year, Sandra celebrated an extraordinary milestone, marking 45 years of dedicated service with Honeywell/Tridium. While she was incredibly proud of her career, her greatest joy and proudest achievement was always her family. Sandra was a profoundly selfless person who consistently put the needs of others above her own. She poured her heart into creating a warm, welcoming home, and expressed her love best through cooking wonderful meals for those she cherished.

Sandra was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Albert and Gertrude Iannone, and her dear brother, Robert Iannone.

Her legacy of love lives on through her devoted husband, Gary S. Natella; her two daughters, Lauren Gray (husband Brandon) and Katie Stark-Rankins; and her three cherished granddaughters, Hayden Gray, Francesca Stark-Rankins, and Violet Stark-Rankins, who were the absolute lights of her life. She is also survived by her loving sister, Diana Masello (husband Stephen); her nephews, Kyle Masello, and Jonathan Masello (wife Kristin); her great-nephew, Dylan Masello; and a lifetime of extended family and dear friends.
