Natalie Lynn Prechtel
Born 9/30/57, went to be with the Lord 10/10/25
Loving sister of Heather Willams (David). Favorite aunt of Mandy Williams (Mat Whipple) and Jasper Williams. Special Tia to Clara, daughter of Jasper.
Loving daughter of Mary Lou and William Prechtel (both deceased). Cherished stepdaughter of Katrien Barnes (Michael).
Natalie will be remembered for her love of her family and her deep love of all 4-legged creatures, particularly her two Scottish Terriers, Teagan and Annie.
The thing Natalie was the proudest of was her 13 years of sobriety. She was an active member of AA, and was the secretary of one meeting and the treasurer of another. She will be greatly missed by her AA family.
An avid blood and platelet donor over the course of her life, Natalie left behind the greatest gift anyone can give. She was an organ, eye and tissue donor at the end of her life. As a result, many other lives will be saved and transformed for the better.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Strongsville United Church of Christ, 13740 Pearl Road, Strongsville, OH 44136, on October 30, 2025. Visitation at 10:30 am, service to start at 11 am. A light lunch at the church will follow. Burial at Woodvale Cemetery at a later date, private. Please dress casually as Natalie would want. No flowers please, donations can be made to Natalie's preferred nonprofit organization, ARF Berea Animal Rescue, 10015 East River Rd., Columbia Station, OH 44028
