Obituary of Natalie Ann Kielb

KIELB, Natalie Ann With the quiet and dignified way in which she led her life, Natalie passed away at Albright Manor in Beamsville on September 6, 2011, one day after her 96th birthday. Left to Honour her Memory are her Children: Joseph (Katherine) and Geraldine. Blessed to have had "Gram" in their lives for such a long time are her Grandchildren: Lori-ann (Kevin), Jacqueline (Stacey), David (Connie), Steven (Jodi) and Jodie (Jason). Losing their "Babci" are her Great-Grandchildren: Natalie, Darien, Nicholas, Bradley, Stephanie, Brock, Joshua and Jackson. She will be lovingly remembered by her sister Irene Hargot. Natalie is predeceased by her Beloved Husband of almost 67 years, Jerry (George), her parents, Teofil and Josephine Lendzioszek, her brother Joseph, her sister Dorothy Kraftcheck and her Son-in-Law, John Pezdirc. Natalie spent many years tending to her vegetable and flower gardens at the Jones Road farm that she and Jerry owned. Her love of flowers and the ability to make anything grow is something that her family still strives to achieve today. As we continue to plant our gardens and cook her recipes in our homes, we will always remember that it was Natalie, our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, that introduced us to: canned peaches, apricots and cherries, 3 day pickles, home made pierogis and of course...banana muffins for everyone!

Mom (Gram/Babci), together with Dad (Dziadz), you created a family and a legacy of love that will continue through time and generations to come. There will never be a Christmas or Easter that we do not raise our glass to you and the Polish traditions that you have created for this family. For what you have given to us, you will forever remain in our hearts, z milosci.
