Natalie Bales Saylor

Natalie Bales Saylor November 13, 1935-September 23,2007 Passed away unexpectedly and peacefully at home on September 23. Beloved wife of Leland Saylor; sister of Todd Bales; devoted mother of Bradley Saylor, Natalie Saylor Savio, and Jeffrey Saylor; and loving grandmother of Spencer and Jesse Savio. Natalie was raised in the East Bay of San Francisco and together with her husband Leland, raised her family in Alamo and Danville. During that time, she also developed rich roots in the community through her work with the Easter Seals Society, the Regional Center for the Arts, and her role as a founding member of the Diablo Cotillion. After raising her family, she moved with her husband to San Francisco, where she greatly enjoyed her view of Huntington Park from her home on Nob Hill. Her social events and sense of style were legendary; however, it was her role as homemaker and wife, mother and grandmother that gave her greatest joy. She relished making a beautiful home for her family, and infusing it with love and a magical sense of fun. All who entered were welcomed with warmth and graciousness. Those who knew Natalie will never forget her-a rare mixture of warmth, intelligence, beauty, sense of humor, and style that will never be repeated. She touched many lives with her ebullient personality and innate kindness. There will be a service and celebration of her life on Saturday, October 6th at 1:00 PM at the home of her daughter at 10 Vista Hermosa in Walnut Creek.
