Natalie Larsen Obituary
On December 20, 1971 in Logan, Utah, beautiful Natalie Larsen was born to the delight of her sister, Jamie Larsen, and her brother Jason Larsen. Her proud parents were Gary Larsen and Letitia (Tish) Barrett Larsen (later Letitia Giffin). Since that time Natalie continued to bring joy into the hearts and lives of her family, friends, co-workers, and other acquaintances. She was loving, generous, brilliant, and had a great sense of humor. To our deep sorrow, on February 7, 2013, following a short illness, Natalie returned to Heaven and joined her beloved mother Letitia Giffin who died nearly eight years ago. Natalie moved with her family to Arizona in 1976. She attended Maryland Elementary, Royal Palm Middle School, and Washington High School. She was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During and following high school, Natalie worked for Dial Corporation, then for Viad, and at the time of her death, she was an Administrator Assistant at Avnet. She and her sister Jamie lived in Peoria with Jamie's children (Natalie's two nieces), Logan and Tatum Yoon. Her niece, Ryan Larsen, recently moved to Boston. Natalie enjoyed vacationing (She loved the ocean!) and various nature and outdoor activities, such as camping and motorcycle riding. She was an avid animal lover. Rascal, her sweet little dog of many years, waited for her in Heaven. She left three lonely dogs and a cat on earth. Natalie is loved so dearly and missed so much by her father, Gary Larsen, and by her sister and brother, Jamie Larsen and Jason Larsen. She is also loved by and greatly missed by her grandmother, Dora Larsen, who lives in Logan, Utah, by her step-mother Kathryn Morgan-Larsen, by her step-father David Giffin, by her step-sisters and brother, JulieAnne Gibby, Kristy (Tom) Gibby-Wachter, Krista Giffin, Megan (Larry) Shoemake, and Dave Giffin, and by her nieces Ryan Larsen, Logan Yoon, and Tatum Yoon, her step-nieces and nephews Sckylar Gibby-Brown, Laicey Gibby-Brown, Kira Wachter, Blaire Mari Wachter, Braxton Wachter, Hayden Shoemake, Landon Shoemake, and by scores of other good friends and relatives. A service and celebration of Natalie's life will be held at the West Resthaven Funeral Home, 6450 West Northern Ave., Glendale on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 1:00.

I want to let Jamie and Jason know that we are thinking of them. I'm sure it has been difficult without having your Mom here, and to have the sudden loss of your sister is not fair.
We love you and want you to know you are in our thoughts.

I will miss Natalie's wicked sense of humor – she always had a way to get a good guffaw out of me! We spent many hours bonding over our crazy dogs and sharing stories of their mis-adventures (along with a ridiculous amount of photos to go along with the stories)… we also consoled each other during the illness and loss of our mothers – I am comforted knowing that she is now with her beloved mother. My sympathy goes to her family for their terrible loss.

Natalie was a very kind and caring person, and since we both lived on the other side of the planet from our office, I'm going to miss joking with her about having such a nasty commute into work every day. Having wings now will definitely help make getting around a lot easier for Natalie. Travel safe my friend...

My dear Natalie. I'm so glad that you and I worked so many different customer events. You were a work horse, doing whatever needed to be done with no complaints whatsoever. I am sorry that I tried to scare you by driving the golf cart on that particularly steep hill. Well....actually I'm not, we laughed so hard that I almost tipped us over for real. It is such a great memory. Big hugs to you forever.

Nat, you will be sorely missed here in the office. I already miss your giggle. None of this makes sense but I am finding solace in knowing you're with your mama again. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I will also miss our conversations about SOA. I feel so lucky to have known you. I will smile when I think of you... after my sadness subsides. Miss and love you my dear friend

My heart and prayers go out to Natie's family and friends. Natalie was a beautiful, vibrant, young woman who loved life and those she shared it with. We miss her every day. I take some comfort in knowing she is at peace and back in the arms of the mother she loved so much, and know she is looking down on all of us. An angel in heaven that will forever be in our hearts.

Sending my love and prayers to family and friends of Natalie. My memories of Natalie are her great smile and wonderful laugh. She was so much fun to be around. Most of my memories of her are when we were teenagers at Bear Lake or when she came to visit in Logan. I remember one time she was at our house in Logan and she made Nan and I laugh so hard. It was always fun when she was around. I am sure she is having a wonderful reunion with her mom.
