Nathalie's favorite place on earth was the family cottage on Lake Poygan her parents had built in 1959. She loved fishing, boating and swimming and cherished gatherings there with family and friends. She was the quintessential hostess for multiple Christmas parties at their home, expertly organizing each while the dishwasher hummed constantly to keep up. Jerry and Nath had lifelong friends with "The Duffys" group of American Legion Post 38 veterans. Her ultimate sports hero was Aaron Rodgers! Above all, she had a deep, enduring Christian faith that sustained her positive outlook.
Nathalie is survived by children Thomas (Joy) Arens, Kathleen Uecker, Mary Jo (Tom) Hansel and Annette Arens (life partner Dennis "Carp" Carpenter); grandchildren Kimberlee (JJ) Eaton, Gina (Joe) Rohs, Patrick (Kelly) Arens, Corrie Budrick and Michelle (Nick) Leary; step-children Steve (Jean) Persons, Shirley (Steve) Lemke, Linda Persons, Terry Persons, Carol (Scott) Sauder, Susan Persons, Ken Persons and Sandy Schapekahm; 7 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren and many step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
Nathalie was also predeceased by son Timothy Arens in Vietnam ("Our great sorrow"), yet a proud Gold Star Mother as a result; siblings Celestine "Sally" (Lloyd) Hein, Norana (Tom) Lisi and Gerald (Leona) Trauba; son-in-law Dale Uecker and his son, Jason Uecker.
The family extends heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Shanthi Joseph, AsceraCare Hospice, namely Chaplain Lissa, Mandy and especially Nurse Kayla, a true angel. Also the facility's entire CNA staff, as well as Missy, Christine, Leah, Linda, Mandy, Rachel, Mary and Carol who lovingly watched over Nathalie during her 9 years there.
LOVE YOU MORE, MOM!
