64 of Innisfil, Natalie Di Nardo (née Trevellin) passed away peacefully on May 14 - in her home of which she had been a proud resident for nearly 36 years.  Natalie was born to Mario and Gail Trevellin on December 22, 1960 in Downsview, Ontario where she grew up. Natalie came from a large family of 9; she had an immeasurable love for keeping her family close and together.  Natalie married Nick Di Nardo on December 7, 1985 and together they raised two daughters.  She treasured motherhood and, later, being a grandmother to her three grandsons - the loves of her life.  Natalie was passionate about good food and wine, cheering on her beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, and could often be found cooking in her kitchen while bopping along to music or with her nose in the latest Stephen King novel.

Natalie is survived by her husband of 39 years, Nick.  Her daughters Justine (Johnathon) and Samantha (Gareth), and her grandsons Atticus, Oliver, and Jameson.  The family would like to thank oncology at Royal Victoria Hospital, her nurse Tatiana, Dr. Ng, and Dr. Deboer for their compassion, care and support given to Natalie over the years.  Further and special thank you to Dr. Harman and Dr. McGilvray - their interventions in her care were the catalysts for giving her 8 more years of life.

Natalie is now at peace, joining her parents, her half-sister Barbara Boyce, and her wonderful friends Sweet Marie and Curry Ward.

Funeral mass will be held on Friday June 6th, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. at St. John Vianney Parish - 13 Baldwin Ln, Barrie.  Attendees are invited by the family to congregate in the parish hall following the service for refreshments and remembrance.

    We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and neighbor, Natalie. For 12 years, she wasn’t just our neighbor—she was family. Natalie had a beautiful way of making everyone feel loved, and she held a special place in our hearts, especially with Isabella and Marcus, who adored her.

    Some of our most cherished memories are the times we spent together—whether it was watching horror movies late into the night, taking spontaneous road trips to Orillia, or cheering at basketball games. Her warmth, laughter, and friendship filled our lives in ways words can’t fully express.

    My dear friend I miss you so much, your memory will always be a part of our lives. Our hearts go out to all who loved her.

    With deepest sympathy,
    Orsi, Jeromy, Isabella and Marcus
