After high school she worked various jobs in which she loved but none more than the job she retired from, being a bus driver which she enjoyed for over 20 years. She adored her job as a bus driver and loved all of those children as if they were her own. Over the years of driving a school bus, she made a positive impact on many children as well as adults and was always there to brighten the lives of others.
She appreciated all the little things of life and never took anything for granted. She adored her children more than anything in the world and they were the light of her life. She was so very proud and did everything and anything to push them to be the best they could.
Over the years, Natalie touched many hearts with her fun loving personality. She was easy to love and could get along with anyone. She always put people before herself and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Her family as well as her friends would describe her as loving, caring, compassionate, funny and loved to make people laugh.
