She went on to work as a medical coder, which allowed her to continue caring for her family while working from home.

Natalie was known for her strength, selflessness, and deep love for those around her. She instilled strong core values into her family that helped shape who they are today. She especially cherished family trips and making memories together, enjoyed time spent with her grandchildren, and was truly the heart of the family.
