Those closest to Natalie will remember her unique ability to make everyone in her life feel special and loved. Full of joy and enthusiasm, Natalie’s love for life was contagious, making every moment spent with her a cherished memory. Her family would long to hear her wonderful storytelling, and to just be in her presence, which always brought warmth and comfort. She guided her loved ones to recognize what truly mattered in life: faith in God and the unbreakable bond of family.

Natalie attended Lawrence High School. She was a pioneering member of the first class of women to attend Northeastern University. Natalie followed her heart to pursue a career in nursing, completing her nursing degree at Lawrence General Hospital.

In 1959, Natalie married the love of her life,  Robert Faherty from South Boston, and eventually settled in Hyde Park to start their family. In 1970, Natalie and Bob made their move to Braintree, where she lived and raised a family of six children.

Bob and Natalie’s marriage was and always will be a profound example of true love, and devotion. Their union is a lasting symbol of love – a connection beyond words.
