Genevieve Natali

Natali

Genevieve A. Natali, of Butler, died on Jan. 18, 2023, at the age of 103.

Born June 16, 1919, in Butler, she was the daughter of the late Lewis and Nellie Mendus of Butler.

She is survived by her daughter, Dr. Cynthia Potter (Dr. Robert); her grandchildren, Brandon, Julie and Randy Potter; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

She was a member of All Saints Parish in Butler.

She was devout in her Catholic faith and attended many Knights of Columbus activities with her husband throughout the years.

She greatly enjoyed working outdoors, and taking care of her yard and flowers at the house that she and her husband had built following World War II. She lived in this house until she was 100, when she moved to the Haven at North Hills, a personal-care facility. In these later years, bingo and visiting with friends were her favorite activities.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Walter F. Natali, to whom she was married for 49 years; and all of her brothers and sisters, Ralph Mendus, Blanche Kurnal, Alfred Mendus, Walter Mendus and Lucille Druga.

The family would like to thank the terrific staff at the Haven of North Hills for their care in recent years, and the staff of AHN Hospice in recent days.
