NATALIE A. RUTISHAUSER "OUR SUNSHINE GIRL"
Natalie Rutishauser, daughter of Rudy and Jeanne Rutishauser, has returned to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
After fighting bravely against one of the most painful diseases (M.S.) for 16 years, she is home again where she earned a special place. She was preceded in death by her beloved father, Rudy, and is survived by her mother Jeanne, her brother, Eric, her nephew Nathan, and all her aunts, uncles and cousins of France.
Natalie was always full of energy and "joie de vivre" and excelled in most sports. She had a generous heart and loved to help families with young children. She will be missed so much by many, many people.
We are so grateful for her most faithful friends, Cathy Robinson and Debbie Peterson who always visited her, all those years, and always brightened her life; and Dan Bowers who helped her eat every night, as if she were his own child. We are most thankful for their devotion, compassion, their love, their encouragement.
Other wonderful friends who brought joy to her life were Jill, Bonnie, Marianne and Linda.
We want also to thank the owners and the staff of Rock Canyon Rehabilitation and Nursing Center for their compassion, patience and care.
Viewing will be held Monday, Jan 26, 2009 at the Lakeview Stake Center, 400 West 1800 South from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., followed by the funeral service at 11:00am. Interment will be at the Orem City Cemetery. Online condolences may be given at www.serenicare.com.
