Natalie Grace Watkins

Natalie Grace Watkins was born May 9, 2018, and went to be with the Lord May 6, 2023. She was born in The Woodlands, Texas, to Charles and Jennifer (Denyer) Watkins.

Natalie was a spunky, sassy but sweet, vivacious, mischievous little firecracker. A beautiful little girl who loved mermaids, princesses, dressing up, playing in the mud, and chasing bugs. When a good song came on, she was the first to dance and sing along. She dearly loved her big brother Kenneth while usually pretending to be the big sister. They had a bond like no other. Together, they'd build volcanoes and then later enjoy smashing them together while pretending to be tornadoes.
She was the gleam in her Daddy’s eye and the spark to reveal her mother. She could get down in the mud with her princess dress and painted nails without losing her crown. She aspired to be a beautician and would sneak her mommy’s make-up and even cut her own hair. She was so full of life, with a smile that could break even the toughest person. She was a ray of sunshine to all who knew her, and a hug from her could make any problem disappear.

Natalie is survived by both parents, and her big brother Kenneth Edward Watkins. Her paternal family incudes, her grandmother Carol Morgan and husband Mark Blalock; great-grandmother Judy Okert; uncle Joseph and wife Melissa Watkins; aunts, Teresa Morgan, Ada Watkins; and Amanda Watkins; cousins, Martini Morgan, Ana Watkins, Alex Watkins, Destiny Watkins, Sean Watkins, Mason Watkins, Noah Wilson, Katie Morgan, and Elizabeth Watkins.

Her surviving maternal family members are, grandparents, Glen and Vickie Denyer; great-grandmother Barbara Denyer; aunt Stephanie and Brian York; cousins, Savannah York, Brylee York, Blair York and Shane York, along with close family friend, Margie Whitley.
Numerous other family members and friends are also survived.

She is preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, O’Dell Tyler; great-grandfather, James Okert, and great-grandfather Samuel Morgan; and great-great-grandmother, Shirley Froehlich; as well as her maternal great-grandfather Oliver Parks Denyer; great-grandparents, Kenneth Wayne and LaJuana Fern Knight.
