Mrs. Kathleen P. Natale

Kathleen P. Natale (née Paul), age 96, widow of the late Augustine Natale, of Spring City, passed away on Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at Manatawny Manor Senior Living Center. Born in West Mont, New Jersey, on March 17, 1925, she was the daughter of the late William G. Paul and Rosanna (Fillman) Paul. She was a devout member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Spring City. When Mrs. Natale wasn’t listening to jazz or big band music, she dedicated her life to the service of both the community and animals. She earned her RN at Montgomery Hospital and graduated in 1948. She worked at Phoenixville Hospital in the 50's. In the early 60's, Kathleen decided to become a School Nurse in the Phoenixville School District and earned her Bachelor's Degree at West Chester University going to class at night and in the summer. She retired in 1989. She was a family oriented person who enjoyed cooking for the family for all holiday and special events. She enjoyed curling up with a good book. Rusty and Kathleen enjoyed traveling with a close-knit group of friends. This group, known as "Pop's Crop," traveled with their recreational vehicles visiting sites on the Eastern seaboard. In later years, they enjoyed traveling to different areas of New England, most notably Maine, with their daughter, Denise, and her husband, Stephen. She was also known for a love of flowers and she kept a pink poinsettia in her room that still blossoms to this day. When it came to animals, she loved her Boston Terriers and her last was a cat, Jesse, that lived to a ripe old age of 19 whom she doted upon. Both she and her late husband were frequent donors to the SPCA. Kathleen is survived by her children; Denise Wiand, wife of the late Stephen Wiand, and Ronald Natale, companion of Kim Christy. She is also survived by three granddaughters, Kristina Wiand, Amber Natale Mauro and Nicole Natale Kimes, three great-grandchildren, Gianna and Danielle Mauro and Rachel Kimes.
