A visitation will be held on September 4th and 5th, giving family, friends, and community members the chance to come together, offer comfort, and say their heartfelt goodbyes. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at St. Mark’s Catholic Church, where Natalia and her family have long shared their faith.
These gatherings serve not only to mourn but to honor Natalia’s life—to remember the joy she brought, the lives she touched, and the light she shared with the world. It is in these moments of remembrance that her spirit will live on, carried forward in the stories, smiles, and prayers of those who loved her.

Though only 14 years old, Natalia leaves behind a powerful legacy—a reminder of how one person, no matter how young, can impact the lives of many. She will be remembered for her gentle heart, her deep empathy, and her ability to bring people together. Her family asks that, in honor of Natalia, we each take time to love more deeply, to show kindness freely, and to never take a single day for granted.
