After their children were grown, they moved to Akron, Ohio where she continued as a substitute teacher.  Natalie managed a full time teaching position, a busy family, a cottage, a home and a social life with ease and gave her full attention to each of these jobs.  She was a devoted mother and wife to her family and always welcomed friends and family with love and warmth.  She instilled the balance of a strong work ethic and most importantly a loving home life in her daughters.  She was a life long friend to many.

Bob and Natalie retired to Hacienda del Rio in Edgewater where they lived in a wonderful community for over 25 years. The couple enjoyed so many wonderful times on La Gardinia with neighborhood friends and family. Natalie taught water aerobics into her 80s at the Hacienda del Rio clubhouse.
