Patrice "Patty" Natarelli passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on October 25, 2026, in the comfort of her own home.

Patty had a heart of gold and a way of loving people that was uniquely her own. She was the kind of person who would always be there to offer you a warm meal, a place to lay your head, a listening ear, and an everlasting love. Patty was selfless, and she never

judged others for who they were or what they had been through. To Patty, if she considered you family, you were family. She welcomed people from all walks of life with an open heart and a love that knew no bounds. For nearly 18 years, Patty fought a courageous battle with a rare condition that she was once given only six months to live with. But Patty was a fighter. Instead of giving up, she fought through every second of every day, determined to make the most of the time she had been given. She held on through the years to watch her two children grow into their adult lives, and she was blessed to watch her one and only granddaughter grow from her baby years into a young lady. Her strength, determination, and unwavering love for her family were a testament to the incredible woman she was.

One of Patty's greatest joys was being part of her granddaughter Nataleiah's life. From her earliest baby years, Patty cherished every moment, carrying her heart through the dance world and cheering her on every step of the way. For nearly 10 years, she shared in her granddaughter's dance journey, encouraging her dreams and wanting nothing more than to see her succeed. Together, they spent countless hours creating dances, making up songs, and sharing the kind of precious memories that will be treasured for a lifetime. Her granddaughter gave Patty so much to live for, and their bond was a beautiful example of the unconditional love between a grandmother and her grandchild.

Patty was also a deeply spiritual person in many aspects of her life. When she lost something or needed a little help, she would often

pray to Saint Anthony. One of her favorite sayings was "Merry Everything," a phrase that reflected her unique spirit and the way she wanted to bring happiness to the people around her.

Above all, Patty wanted people to know that they were loved. Even on her darkest days, she made sure the people in her life knew how much they meant to her. She cared deeply, loved fiercely, and never wanted to leave a conversation without reminding someone that she loved them. She never hung up the phone without saying those words.

Though Patty's passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, her legacy will live on through her children, Demianna and Michael; her beloved daughter-in-law, Ang, her cherished granddaughter, Nataleiah, and her brother and sisters.

Her strength, compassion, generosity, and unconditional love will continue to shine through the lives of those she leaves behind. Everyone fortunate enough to have been touched by her kindness will carry a piece of her in their hearts forever.

Patty may be gone from this world, but the love she gave, the memories she created, and the lives she touched will remain forever.

Merry Everything, Patty. You were loved more than words could ever express, and you always will be.

Forever in our hearts
