Traci A. Natale

September 14, 1967 — May 15, 2024

Dudley

Traci A. (Garabedian) Natale, 56, of Dudley, passed away in the comfort of her home on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, with her loving husband at her bedside.

 

Traci is survived by her husband of nineteen years, John J. Natale; his 3 sons, Joseph Natale of Worcester, Michael Natale and his wife Joanna of NY, NY, and Stephen Natale of Worcester; a sister, Candace Brodeur of CT; two brothers, Craig Garabedian and David Garabedian and his partner Pam Seale, all of  Dudley; a niece and three nephews, Hannah, Mark, Nicholas, and Brady; along with her former sister in law, Janlyn.  Traci was sadly predeceased by her loving chocolate lab, Jake.  Traci was born in Worcester, daughter of the late, John J. Garabedian and Joan L. (Archambo) Fresolo; and grew up in Webster, where she graduated from Bartlett High School, later settling in Dudley.

 

Traci worked as the assistant manager of the mail room at Nichols College, where she was loved by co-workers and students alike, with her knack for brightening anyone’s day.  She had previously worked for many years at Percy’s in Worcester, where again she greeted everyone with kindness and a smile.

 

Traci loved riding her motorcycle and cruising in her Mustang GT convertible.  She loved long walks, hiking, and going to the beach.  She has a special place in her heart for animals of all kinds and recently fulfilled a life-long dream of swimming with dolphins.  She will be remembered for her smile, her kindness, and her ability to light up any room with her great personality.

 

Calling Hours will be on Wednesday, May 22, from 9 a.m. until a Prayer Service begins at 11:30 a.m. in MERCADANTE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 370 Plantation Street, Worcester.  Interment will follow at Worcester County Memorial Park in Paxton.
