Natalia was raised in a loving family; she was a Catholic and a devoted mother to her only child. She was a homebody with a warm and outgoing personality. Before becoming ill, Natalia worked as a CNA, she also worked as a cook for Burger King on Taunton Ave. and held various jobs in the jewelry industry. She was a hardworking mom who could be blunt at times, but she had a heart of gold.

She loved to cook and bake, she all the familiar Portuguese favorites, she loved to garden and spend her time on anything else associated with hospitality and making her home and space welcoming to others.
