Natalie was a dedicated educator who touched the lives of countless students during her 40-year tenure as a teacher in the Millcreek School District.

Offering her unwavering support and love, she enjoyed having a hand in raising her grandchildren and attended many horse shows and travel hockey games. Natalie was an avid reader especially when it came to mystery novels. She also enjoyed sewing, quilting, gardening and shopping.

Brown (Haley) and great grandchildren, McKenna, Kylee and Luca. She is further survived by her “spare” kid, James S. Duguid and the mother of her grandchildren, Kathleen Brown.
