Natalie Denise Pyatt was born on March 18, 1982, the only child of Wendell and Karen Pyatt of Spring Valley, CA. She was always a sweet child, loved by all. Her youthful years were spent under the protective watch of her parents, Aunt Margaret Parks and godparents, Robert and Doris Thomas. Natalie accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Bayview Baptist Church by the late Pastor Timothy J. Winters. Natalie, a graduate of Joe Blasco Beauty College in Hollywood, CA, was a well-known professional makeup artist in Southern California. She knew how to handle those brushes! At weddings, graduations, proms, bridal showers etc, Natalie’s work was apparent. A perfectionist who took great pride in her work, she wanted to make everyone she met beautiful. Beauty should have been her middle name.
