  Natalie J. Smith 
  
  NORRISTOWN Natalie Jean Smith, 76, died on Friday, September 2, 2011. She was 
  born to the late David C. and Alyce (Kulp) Bowman, August 15, 1935, in 
  Harrisburg. Natalie graduated from Allentown High School in 1953, and from 
  Allentown Hospital School of Nursing in 1956 as an RN. Natalie was an RN at 
  Plymouth Meeting Family Medicine and a volunteer for the Red Cross, Montgomery 
  County Cultural Center, Mt. Gretna Art Show, and Meals on Wheels. She was a 
  founding member of the Plymouth Meeting Church on the Mall, member of the 
  Conshohocken Jr. Women's Club, and Chairman of ticketing and play-reading 
  Committees for the Mt. Gretna Cicada Festival. Natalie described her home as 
  having "elastic walls and revolving doors" as she opened her home to foreign 
  exchange students along with refugees from Ukraine and Poland, whom she 
  remained close with throughout her life. Despite being a world-traveler, 
  Natalie's favorite place was the front porch of her family's Mt. Gretna 
  cottage (circa 1896) where she would be surrounded by her garden, friends, and 
  family. She and her husband of 55 years, Richard C. Smith, were season patrons 
  and volunteers of the Gretna Theatre. She was an avid bowler, pianist, Bridge 
  player, champion sewer, and choir member. The mother of four poured her love, 
  energy and time to supporting the goals and dreams of her family. She is 
  survived by her husband, Richard C. Smith (Norristown); her brother, David C. 
  Bowman (Pleasantville, N.J.); four children, Douglas Smith (Norristown), 
  Kenneth Smith (Perkasie), Virginia Isabella (Mechanicsburg), and Suzanne 
  McCarrick, (Pottstown); her ten grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. She 
  was preceded in death by one granddaughter. They will remember her for her 
  passionate strong-will and gentle mentoring.  A private funeral will be held 
  for family and close friends. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held on 
  Sunday, September 11, 2011, at 7 p.m. at the Church on the Mall, Plymouth 
  Meeting, Pa. Arrangements are by the Moore and Snear Funeral Home, 
  Conshohocken, Pa.
