Natlie attended Galesburg Schools and was employed at John’s Taco Hideout prior to devoting 28 years to Butler Manufacturing, where she especially loved Dept. 84. After retiring in 2003, Natlie became a full-time Grandma. She enjoyed spending time at the Paradise Riverboat Casino and taking care of her dog Paco, but her greatest enjoyment was shopping for her grandkids and surprising them with unexpected gifts. She spent the majority of her life in Galesburg. However, her battle with liver disease required her to reside with daughter Ruth’s family in Peoria, where she received care and assistance for the past two and a half years. She was preceded in death by her parents, 2 sisters, 1 brother, and her beloved daughter Lisa Sandoval-Hall who passed away on April 14, 2007.
