Natalie L. Wallace, 95, of Needham, MA, more recently of Salem, MA, passed away on February 22, 2026 at home surrounded by her children.

Natalie was born on October 7,1930 in Nashua, NH to her beloved parents Donald and Lillian Devereux. She attended Saint Mary's College in NH until marrying, moving to Massachusetts and ultimately having five children. Natalie's most important career was as a homemaker until adding to that by partnering with her husband (Richard) in an entrepreneurial retail business; following divorce she carried on with strength and independence working as an Office Administrator. No matter what role she was in Natalie was quick to share her beautiful smile and warm personality, she just couldn't give enough to others and to her children there were no limits to the love and support she gave them.

Natalie leaves behind her children, Kathy King (Larry), David Wallace (Kathy Wenyon), Sharon Devereux, Kevin Wallace (Lee Hamilton) and Diana Tucker (Eric). Her brother Donald Devereux currently resides in a NH Nursing home with his wife Lynda. Her legacy continues in her nine beautiful grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren.
