Natasha Marie Sanford Dupuy

Natasha Dupuy Obituary

A loving wife, daughter, sister, aunt, student and teacher, she departed this life Monday, Jan. 30, 2012. She was, absolutely, so smart and beautiful and lovely. To be in her presence was a delightful treat. Her family will miss and love her, always. Her Catholic faith made her who she was and shaped the lives of all who knew her. Throughout the life of her family, there was no one who was not, in some way, affected by her strong core belief in the tenets of the Catholic religion. Surely, she rests with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She is survived by her husband, Charles Romual Dupuy III; grandmother, Marie Short Schofield; mother, Alice Schofield; father, Chapman Sanford and wife Mary Ann; sister, Alison Sanford Dazzio and husband Warren; brothers, Jeffry Lamonte Sanford and wife Thu Sang, Christopher Levert Sanford, Michael Dumontier Sanford and wife Starr, and Stephen Chapman Sanford and wife Courtney; brother-in-law, William Steven Dupuy and wife Keeley; and countless nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. Visitation at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in St. Francisville on Thursday, Feb. 2, from 11 a.m. until Mass at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated by Healing House, where she donated her time and efforts, 707 Lee Ave., Lafayette, LA 70501.

So shocked and sad to learn of Natasha's passing. She was a close friend at USF and brightened my time there in so many ways. I look forward to seeing her again some day.

I am late in sending this message of condolence to Natasha's family, but I have offered Masses for her I felt that I was very close to her, and as I recently looked at her picture in the little book I wrote at USF, Your Word, O Lord, I was reminded her her again and all of the goodness that was hers. I am sure she prays for us now as we pray for her and for those who mourn her passing.

Natasha will be deeply missed. I was shocked by this news, but know she is now where we all hope and strive to be. She taught us how to live with conviction and joy in the faith. I was fortunate to have known her and studied in San Francsico and Dallas together. My sincerest prayers for her husband and family.

I was deeply deeply saddened to hear the news about Nathasha. I came to know her during our year abroad at Oxford University in 1989-1990. Her conviction and love of her catholic faith was something that inspired all those who encountered her. She was a true joy in the world. Charlie, we have never met but our prayers go out to you and Natasha, as well as those who survived her.

To the family: I spent 6 weeks writing with Natasha in 2007. I remember her humor, her beauty, the stories that she wrote and read to our writing group. I met up with her later and she shared a life story with me which helped me understand the ups and downs of life. I pray that she rest in peace. I am sorry for your great loss. Sincerely, Joan Garcia

Natasha and I were flatmates briefly in San Francisco, after she gradulated from college.  I can still hear her cheerful, "Good mornin'!" chiming in the new day.  Natasha cared very deeply for others and always worked to bring souls closer to our loving God.  May He comfort all her family and heal their broken hearts.  We trust that dear Natasha is now in His loving, eternal embrace.

When Natasha appeared at freshmen orientation for the Saint Ignatius Institute 25 years ago she carried herself as if a #1 overall draft pick. In a talented, rich, and colorful class she truly stood out above us all. When she later wedded herself to her Catholic Faith she became unstoppable. She was strong for others, and made others rise by her strength.

Today is Candlemas, celebration of the Light, and I will always remember Natasha as light. May she cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees.

I am so saddened by the loss of Natasha, and my heart is with her family and friends. I have so many special memories of growing up together, so many funny memories from highschool, of venturing to France when we were 16, and visiting her in college in SF. She was my best friend for years, and I held such admiration for her smarts, love of learning, her many talents, and sense of humor and adventure. The world has lost a brilliant light. Wishing her family comfort and peace; you are in my thoughts and prayers.

As I write this, it is the Hour of Divine Mercy here in San Francisco. I am praying for Natasha's soul. She is in God's great Mercy now. I have no words of comfort strong enough so I'll close with my great sorrow at this brilliant light going out, and I will commend all who knew and loved her to God's comforting love. I am cut to the heart. I cannot imagine how all of you are feeling. I mourn for you all. Please accept my heartfelt sorrow, thanks to God for her illuminating life and my love and support to all left in her effervescent wake. God is with you. Hang in there.
