Natasha Kurdyla

Beloved wife and best friend of Mike. Cherished daughter of Nicolas and Louise. Loving sister of Patricia. Aunt to Matthew, Rachel, Jameson, Ryland, Nick, and Carson. Natasha was born on October 13th 1969, in the Lakeshore General hospital in Pointe Claire. Natasha moved to Ottawa in her early 20's and pursued her education in finance and business management when she met Mike and had a whirlwind romance for a couple of years. They split up for seven years while remaining friends, each trying to find themselves while finally realizing they were meant for each other. They reunited and married two years later and family and friends were happy at last. Natasha found her soul-mate in Mike.

She loved the outdoors and nature very much and made it part of her life force every day. She enjoyed going to the camp every weekend to relax in the woods by the river where it was so peaceful and serene. As time went by, Natasha's career blossomed due to her intelligence and professionalism. She also mentored some of her colleagues who appreciated her work ethic and integrity, but did not suffer fools lightly. Natasha also had a wonderful sense of humour. She knew how to make people laugh, but she also knew how to laugh at herself, as well. Her passions in life were horses, animals, nature in general, and later on in motorcycling. She loved her cats, friends, and her family. Natasha also was a food and wine lover, enjoyed a good meal, good company. She enjoyed travelling especially to Barbados where she loved the beach, the music, and the people.
