Dear Illene and Kyle, please know that I am thinking about you both and sending all the healing energy I can your way. There are no words for this level of loss. Natalie was such a bright light on this earth. I can still hear her sweet voice and bright smile in my heart.

Illene and Kyle, I submitted comments days ago when I found out about Natalie's death, but apparently they were unacceptable to the bot that approves them. Anyway, sadness and anger came upon me when I heard about the incident, but abject sorrow replaced them when I learned that she was your Natalie. I hope that somehow you can survive.

I never knew Natalie but I did know Taylor when he was a student at Realms of Inquiry--a long time ago. My daughter, Lauren Jones, remembers him too. We have great memories of his kindness, happiness, love for life, and positive energy. I can only imagine that Natalie was similar and, as a result, a very unique and amazing person. We are saddened by this loss, Taylor, and pray that you will have the strength you need at this difficult time. I'm sure your sorrow is deep and painful. It...

I only knew Natalie briefly through book club, but was so taken with her cheerful personality and willingness to hang with us more ' mature ' ladies. She was our tech guru and brought a young perspective to our talks. She was a ray of sunshine. My deepest condolences to the family. - Isabelle Breen

Easthampton, MA-The soul of our family was tragically taken from us on March 4, 2026. Natalie brightened all of our lives. She was full of love, compassion and creativity. She was fiercely loyal to her family and friends.
Natalie was born August 28, 1991, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Kyle J and Illene Jacobson Dansie. Natalie started dancing when she was five years old. She was a beautiful dancer and continued dancing as an adult.
Natalie attended the University of Utah where she received her BFA in Modern Dance, MBA and MHA. Natalie worked at the Huntsman Cancer Institute as a member of the cancer clinical trials team. She was proud of her work helping people facing difficult times. Natalie met the love of her life, Taylor, while they were university students. They were inseparable for the past 16 years.
Natalie and Taylor moved to Easthampton, MA where they immersed themselves in a creative, artistic community. Natalie was passionate about supporting the arts and was a board member of the Northampton Arts Council.
Our wonderful Natalie is survived by: Taylor Graves (husband), Kyle and Illene (parents), James Dansie (brother), Julie Dansie (sister-in-law), Calvin Dansie (nephew), Ron and Liz Dansie (grandparents). Extended family relationships are priceless. Quinn and Heather were true and loved sisters. Preceded in death by grandparents, Dee and Betty Jacobson. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to one of Natalie's favorite charities would be appreciated: Northampton Arts Council www.northamptonartscouncil.org, Color Country Animal Welfare www.colorcountryanimalwelfare.org.
