Peace n Prayers for Natalie's family and friends. She was such a bright light in all of our students lives and now in heaven. In all of my time at PMO....she n Emily, another bright light, shared in the fun of music and students as much as the parents n
staff did. She was a favorite and will be missed very much...Love to all, Jae Kellogg...Director, Purduettes n Asst. Director GLee Club
Sad to get this news. Rod and Don skied together for years before I met and married Don and attempted skiing. This meant that I spent time with Natalie too. After all of us aged out of the sport we would meet Rod and Natalie for dinner any time we were in the area. Isles s enjoyed her company and wit. They both are such wonderful ground roots people. Kind thoughts being sent to the family in this time of acceptance

Natalie and I shared over 20 years of Purdue Rhode Scholar singing in addition to many Purdue trips with the Glee Club and miscellaneous other Boilermaker events. What fun!
I have such fond memories of our friendship through junior high and high school in Bowling Green, Ohio. Natalie was one of my best friends. She truly was loved by all. Who wouldn’t have loved that positive disposition wit a warm smile and infectious laugh? I felt so sad to get this news. My heart goes out to Rod, also my friend, and their children and grandchildren.
What fun we had as our traveling group the “Peregrinators “. ! I’m so happy I was able to travel and vacation with Natalie. Always a smiling face, ready to move on. ❤️
I will miss my teaching buddy and have wonderful memories of our travels together and fun times we had.
