She then retired and was able to have another 30 years enjoying herself.

Natalie was a long time member of the Sippican Seniors and served as both Treasurer and President. In addition, her love of travel led her to coordinate the club bus trips for many years. She loved making her travelers comfortable and happy as they rolled along. She also enjoyed line dancing, going to casinos, gardening, musical theatre and knitting. After the need for dialysis forced her to stay close to home, she loved eating out, visits with great grandchildren and her beloved cat, Muffin.
