Nathalie was kind to everyone and quick to befriend people. Her razor-sharp wit and caring nature made her easy to talk to and confide in. Nathalie's stubborn German nature and faith held her strong through adversity. She enjoyed being with friends and most of all - family! She dearly loved her grandsons, spoiled them mightily, and was very proud of the men they became and the wonderful women they married. Nathalie treasured her great-grandchildren and enjoyed all their visits and calls. She brightened the world with her smile and will be dearly missed by us all! Special thanks to the staff at Skaalen for supporting her, loving her, and, on some days, putting up with her!
