Natalie Ann Tipton was celebrated in birth to Joe and Dee Tipton on November 18, 1964. She entered heaven joining her dad, little sister Katrina, and extended family members at sun rise on September 20, 2024. Natalie served in the insurance industry for 28 years, providing dedicated service to her loyal clients. She often worked weekends and evenings to thoughtfully take care of her clients' insurance needs. Nat, as her family called her, was one of a kind. She was small in stature, but strong in her beliefs and convictions. She was always cheering and supporting "the under dog". She was not much of a talker, more of a thinker, always giving serious thought to the situation at hand. She loved the ocean and beach - never turning down an offer to join one of her sisters on a trip to the ocean. She loved laying out watching soap operas or listening to music. She loved a good steak! As a child, Natalie's dad nicknamed her "Smiley" as she seemed to always be smiling, sometimes maybe a little mischievous as we saw through the years. Growing up, she was active in softball, helping her team, the "Funburger Fillies", to complete a perfect season!

She enjoyed spending time with her two sisters and two brothers in law, Lynette and Solon Bartley and Rebecca and Bret Hubbard. Natalie was a very proud aunt and great aunt and greatly enjoyed spending time with her seven nieces (Ethanie Bartley, Shelby Prather (Joe), Braigen Britt (Nathan), Mikayla Hubbard, Katrina Hubbard, Emillia Hubbard, and Annalea Hubbard), two great nieces (Eriana Bartley and Brennan Prather) & two great nephews (Maddix Bond and Ronan Bartley). She always kept up to date on their latest accomplishments.

She was an avid lifetime animal lover and advocate. She was "Mom" to many animals across her lifetime and most recently, to Babe, Sammie, Sebastion, Precious, and Pumpkin.

The family invites friends and family to honor Natalie's life through a donation to Pause for Paws, a local nonprofit caring for pets whose loving humans need inpatient medical treatment and don't have anyone to care for their fur babies.
