November 20, 1972 – February 13, 2026
Natalie E. LeValley, 53, of Kenosha, passed away on Friday, February 13th, 2026. She was born on November 20, 1972, in Jacksonville, FL, to Samuel and Marlene DePaulis, the younger of twin daughters and an older sister to a younger sister and brother.
Natalie grew up in Middletown, NJ, where she attended local schools and developed a deep love of music. She was a gifted musician, performing with the Middletown North High School Band and the All‑Shore Band. She graduated from Middletown North High School and later from Excelsior College.
Natalie went on to become a registered nurse and surgical nurse, serving with dedication at both Children’s Hospital and Froedtert.
Beyond her profession, Natalie shared her love of music, cooking, and Italian culture and travel with those around her. She was a talented artist who worked in acrylics, ceramics, and mixed media. During and after the pandemic, she volunteered her time to create murals throughout Kenosha—offering peace, hope, and healing to her community.
Of all the roles Natalie held in her life—daughter, sister, nurse, musician, artist, friend—the one that shaped her heart most deeply was becoming a mother. From the moment her son Christopher came into her life, Natalie adored him. As a child, he was her brightest joy—full of moments she treasured and held close to her heart. Watching him grow into the accomplished and compassionate young man he is today brought her profound pride. Now, embraced by God’s mercy, all earthly weight has fallen away, leaving only love. She looks upon Christopher with heavenly pride and prays for him with a heart made whole.
Natalie cherished the bonds within her family, especially the meaningful connection she shared with her twin sister. She also cared for her parents, siblings, and extended family in the ways she was able.
Natalie is survived by her son, Christopher LeValley; her parents, Samuel and Marlene DePaulis; her siblings, Christina Yoder, Ann Marie DePaulis, and Sammy DePaulis; her brother‑in‑law, Steven Yoder; and many cousins and extended family members.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
A Memorial Mass will be held at Mary Mother of God Catholic Church in Harrison, AR, at a later date.
The family kindly asks that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in memory of Natalie LeValley be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: www.stjude.org/donate/memorials-and-dedications.html
