Natalie D. Sheldon, 93, passed away peacefully on January 6th, 2026 after a long progressive battle with dementia.

Natalie was born and raised in New Jersey where she would finish school and start her career of a dental assistant for 20+ years in all different places. She proceeded to move to Florida where she would later in life take her anticipated yearly vacations in St. Augustine. Other careers include a position at the Department of Corrections in Florida, a control room operator at the Sullivan County house of corrections. She then later retired and took a part time position at the pleasant valley estates.

Natalie found enjoyment in traveling and shopping. She travelled around the world to Europe, Hong Kong, Italy, and many more places. Additionally, she loved spending time with family, where every holiday will be remembered celebrating and listening to stories and looking through pictures together.

Natalie is predeceased by her parents Rita and Edward Deresperis, brother and a very dear friend and companion, Albert Krumenaker of 22 years.

Natalie is survived by her daughter Donna Dolan, grandchildren; Jill Dolan and partner Chris Yurek, Dawn Dolan-Nott and husband Jesse Nott, PJ Slovik; great-grandchildren; Chelsey Dolan, Lacy Laroche, Kennedy and Paxton Slovik, and one great-great grandchild- Clayton Leoutsakos.

A graveside burial will be held in the spring with family.

Life is great, but so is peace.
