Natalie Leventhal Obituary
The family moved to Hartford, in 1925, and Hartford became home to Natalie. She made lifelong friends in Hartford, graduating from Weaver High School in 1940, and from UConn in 1944. It was at UConn that she met her future husband, Robert J. Leventhal who was there training to go overseas for World War II. He returned from Europe in December of 1945, and they were married Jan. 27, 1946. Robert predeceased Natalie in 1995. Natalie worked as a statistician for the State of Connecticut for several years.
In 1957, Bob and Nat became teachers and first taught in Middletown. By 1960, they applied to teach in several Shoreline communities and were hired to teach in the Groton Public Schools where they stayed until retirement. They traveled extensively both in the U.S. and abroad.
Natalie will be remembered as a loving mother to daughters, Michele Holdridge and Amy Hunsinger (William); as well as her son, Seth Leventhal. Also surviving are grandchildren: Monique, Alden (Jennifer), Amanda and Rebecca Holdridge, Susan Hainline and Laura Irace (Michael); great-grandchildren include Ray (Jenny), Chelsea (Kyle), Katelynn, Haley, Wyatt, Preston, Tabitha, Damian and John; and her great-great-grandchildren: Ray, Jaxon, Gracie and Willow also survive. Natalie was predeceased by two sons-in-law, John Hainline and Joseph Holdridge; and a granddaughter, Christina Hainline.
We were fortunate to have celebrated Natalie's 100th birthday with friends and family in August 2023. Our sincere thanks go to Masonicare Hospice, Linda and Mario Tristany, A Daughter for Loan (Kathy Brown) and most importantly Seth, whose expertise and humor made Mom comfortable and happy to the end.

Ms. Leventhal was my 5th grade teacher at Claude Chester. I have the fondest memories of a happy childhood and learning experiences because of the loving manner of kindness.
I think it was the moment when JFK was shot. We were on the playground. All the teacher huddled together, they were crying. I asked Ms. Eventually, what was wrong? She reached towards me and hugged me, only to say, the president was shot.
She took the time to care. And when she taught, she was patient.
I will forever be grateful for her .
