Honoring Natalie’s Memory and Legacy

Natalie’s loved ones are now focusing on celebrating the beauty of her life rather than the tragedy of her passing. Plans are underway for a memorial service and scholarship fund in her honor — a way to carry forward her spirit of kindness, ambition, and hope for the future.

Her family expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support they have received, saying that every message, flower, and candle reminds them of the immense love Natalie brought into the world.
