Natalina was born on December 19, 1934 in Sassinoro, Italy to the late Ludovico and Pasqualina (Picucci) Persichelli.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Pedro Gualtieri; loving children, Tony Gualtieri and his wife Kathy and Fernando Gualtieri and his wife Julie and her cherished grandchildren, Briana, Nicholas, Michael and Peter. She was predeceased by her 6 siblings, Armando, Nicola, Marietta, Fernando, Lucietta, Angello.
She was the center of the family and will be missed dearly, but never forgotten. She had a passion for cooking and a love for gardening and flowers. The grandchildren’s fondest memories of her cooking are her pasta sauce, meatballs, “cheese ball” soup, homemade bread, homemade pizza, spinach pie, pasta e fagioli just to name a few. She loved to crochet and create beautiful sweaters and blankets for the grandchildren. Nothing made her happier than having her sons, grandchildren, daughter in laws, AND of course husband all together. She loved her husband and he loved her like no other. Their marriage was a true bond until her passing and will be forever.
