She grew up in Kemmerer, Wyoming, with her two sisters and brother. As a child Natalie enjoyed reading, dancing, riding horses with her dad and spending time with her family.

She cherished every lasting minute with her grandchildren. She would often be found cuddling or playing dolls with her granddaughter, playing trucks, hide and seek and building forts with her grandsons. She was the go-to listener and problem-solver for many. She cherished her everyday coffee sessions with her siblings and was the best storyteller.  

Natalie worked 15 unforgettable years at Cowboy State Trucking where she built lifelong and cherished relationships with her work family.  

She is survived by her two sons: Jeremie (Tawni) Lewis of Berthoud, Colo.; and Tristen (Dayna) Lewis of Fort Collins Colo.; sisters: Michelle (Rick) Pollard and Serena Nielson, and her brother, Steve (Phyllis) Walker; and her six grandchildren Tailix, Cashten, Corey, Dempsee, Clayton and Keegan, whom she loved dearly.
