Natalie was born on February 26,  2011, in Clifton, Texas, to Ronnie and Jamie Lynn (DeChaume) Kelley.  She was currently in the 1st grade at Valley Mills Elementary.  Natalie was the boss of the house.  She never met a stranger and everyone she met she stole their hearts.   She will be greatly missed by all that knew her and loved her dearly.  She loved spending time with her family, hunting, fishing, camping or sitting around watching her cartoons.  There were many other things she loved doing, playing dolls, riding her bike, jumping on the trampoline, riding four wheelers, swimming or riding on the golf cart with her Aunt Bob.  If it was moving she wanted to ride it.  She also love to sing and dance.  Every Saturday morning she would listen to music with her Uncle John.  She had to have her apple juice every night before going to bed.  Natalie loved her little dog Chase and he loved her too.  He would follow her everywhere.  Although she and her brother argued, you knew they loved each other very much.  Her Dad, was her hero, her Mom was her security blanket, her Mimi was her best friend.  Her brother was not just her brother, he was her Big Brother.  Her Papa was her go to person for anything.  Her movie buddy was Nanny.  Her Uncle Little Chris was wrapped around her finger and Aunt Kayla was her personal nail tech.  She knew anytime she needed a new fishing pole she could go to her Uncle Big Chris.  Her Aunt Amanda was her card player and yes Natalie would like to pick her Bubba Joe's (Justin DeChaume) girlfriend.  She could brighten anybody's day.  If you were sad she would make you smile.  If you were sick, she would be your little nurse.  If you were having a bad day, she would remind you of something good about it.  She would never let anyone leave her presence without telling them bye, giving them a hug, or telling them she loved them.  Natalie cherished all her friends, her cousins, aunts, and uncles.  Our hearts are broken, but we will always carry our memories and love of her with us where ever we go.
