May 19, 1961 – September 25, 2021
IN LOVING MEMORY
Natalie Ann Lanza, 60, of Springfield, NJ passed away peacefully on September 25, 2021.
Natalie was born in Plainfield, NJ and raised in Chatham and Springfield, NJ. She attended Jonathan Dayton High School and studied at Berkeley College.
Beloved daughter, granddaughter, goddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend, Natalie will be missed by all who knew her. Natalie had a big heart and will be remembered for her thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity. She was a wonderful cook and loved cooking and baking. She was known for her speciality -- delicious cheesecake. Natalie loved motorcycles and believed in American patriotism and supporting veterans; she loved the Jersey shore area; and she loved - and was proud of - her Italian heritage. Natalie was sentimental and nostalgic and especially loved get-togethers with her Italian family. She had a deep love for family and believed that family was important. Natalie believed that Jesus was God’s son and she enjoyed attending mass.
She is predeceased by her father (John Richard Lanza), mother (Josephine Lanza, nee: Picone), and brother (Jon B. Lanza). Natalie is survived by her aunts, uncles and cousins.
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
-- John 14:1-6 (NKJV)
