Natalie Lagnese

She is survived by her loving children, Joseph Maloney (Suzanne), Janet D'Iorio (Joseph), and Marie Craddock (William), as well as her treasured grandchildren: Jason (Michele), Bianca, Jennifer, Jessica, Pamela (Jordan), and Megan. Natalie also held a special place in her heart for her great-granddaughters, Kelsey, Lily, Sophia, and Evelyn. She is predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Florence Giuliani and her brother Thomas Giuliani. Beloved aunt of Maria Cannizzo and Thomas Giuliani.

In her younger years, Natalie was a talented seamstress, known for creating beautiful wedding dresses, including one for her cousin Kathy's special day. Natalie was more than just cousins through marriage with Kathy, they were best friends for 65 years. Natalie's friend Kitty who she has been friends with for over 60 years, moved into the Nursing Home with her so they can spend her final days together. They were like Thelma and Louise on some days, and Laverne and Shirley on others. They were partners in crime and hijinks.

Natalie worked as a data entry clerk for the Town of Babylon for 30 years. She often worked two jobs, including one in the restaurant industry, working tirelessly to support her family.

Natalie will be deeply missed by her loving family at The Bellehaven Nursing Home. The nursing staff and caregivers were amazing and actually cried when they were told that she passed away.

Natalie was a vibrant soul who loved to entertain. She had the most energetic, loud, intoxicating laugh, and she relished every opportunity to dance and enjoy a good cocktail. She and Carmine shared a deep love for travel, visiting numerous destinations, with Hawaii holding a special place in her heart.

Always up for an adventure, Natalie embraced life to the fullest, from hang gliding to hot air balloon rides, and even riding segways. One of her most treasured memories was accompanying her daughter, Janet, to China during the adoption of her granddaughter, Jessica.

Above all, Natalie adored spending time with her family, creating lasting memories and celebrating life together. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
