Natalie's obituary

Natalie Deloris Sullivan, 61, was born to Robert Wayne and Annette Christine Sullivan in Middletown, Ohio. She was the first grandchild born to Isaac Woodrow and Bonnie Annie Prather and the apple of her aunties' and uncles' eyes. Oh, was there ever doting!

She graduated from Madison High School in Ohio where she started the high school newspaper and was the first female umpire for summer league baseball. She attended Miami University in Middletown and started the newspaper called KAOS. She was also a student writer with the Middletown Journal.

Throughout her career, she held office administration jobs, including at the Middletown Regional Hospital and most recently, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services Residential Care Services Region 3. She enjoyed writing and volunteering at church.

She was fiercely independent, hard working, meticulously organized; and loved family, friends, travel, and adventures. Her greatest joys were living for the Lord; family; friends; a job well done; and outdoor adventures.

She is survived by her daughter, Maeve Sullivan; sister Bonnie Lamb (Tim); brother Robert "Bobby" Sullivan; maternal aunts, Dianne "Lynnie" Trask (Anthony "Tony"); Karen Kendrick; and cousins, Ruth Willis (Shawn); Teri Chang (Seong Hun); Bill Kendrick; Angell Kendrick; Les Starkey (Sarah); and Lanae Camus (Denny). She is predeceased by her mother and father; maternal uncles, Jimmy and Stephen; maternal aunt, Lucy; maternal cousin, Jimmy; paternal grandparents, John Henry and Ollie Sullivan; and many beloved family members with which she shared fond memories.
