Natasha will be remembered for her sweet and loving loving nature. In her younger years she played softball, basketball and enjoyed being a cheerleader. She was an avid 49ers and Bulls fan. She went to cosmetology school, loved cutting friend’s and family’s hair, and giving manicures and pedicures. She enjoyed listening and dancing to Rap music, and laughing uncontrollably with family. She was a girly girl, but wasn’t afraid to show her toughness. Above all, she was a gentle soul and loved her family wholeheartedly.
