She was active in girl Scouts, served on the Cancer Advisory board, and strived to raise cancer awareness through her foundation "Together We Will Win". Her life was cut short by a 15 year battle with leiomyosarcoma, she was incredibly strong, and lived for her three daughters, Lauren, Olivia and Elyn. Their love for their mother is inspirational, and they continue to make their father proud. They have inherited Natalie's free spirit, love for music, art and the ocean. Natalie was kind and generous and her daughters emulate her in every way. Though their grief is overwhelming, words can't express all their emotion, they are strong like their Mom, and know they'll overcome.
