Natalie Susan Thurber

June 8, 1985 - February 10, 2020

Natalie was born in American Fork, Utah on June 8, 1985. She was the second of four children in her family. Ever since Natalie was little she was a life force; always questioning why and expressing her discontent with life’s uncertainties along with what was expected of her based on society and religion. She walked her own path in every aspect. Natalie always had more friends than she could probably even count. She was always the life of the party, easily adapted to new situations and made lifelong friends wherever she went, which was everywhere.

New career ventures took her all over the United States including: Utah, California, Texas, Minnesota, and Ohio. Natalie was absolutely passionate about her work, whether she was working at Larry's Towing or Sunbelt, she was adamant about customer service and was hell bent on making the company better than when she got there. Even if it wasn’t asked or expected. She was headstrong, with her attitude and opinion and always made her presence known. Although my sister was a badass at face value, she had a heart of gold and an array of emotions to which she felt more than your average person. Natalie’s loyalty to the people in her life is what made her such a force to be reckoned with in the most beautiful way. She loved her people in excess and always made sure they knew it.

The world and my life personally has become less bright without her powerful soul. I can speak for all who knew her that we are all better from knowing her. My beautiful sister was taken before her time. To a known injustice that women encounter everyday is what makes this origination so powerful. We do not want any more women to have to endure what Natalie did. The change starts today, for Natalie.
