Obituary of Natalie L. Braley

NATALIE L. BRALEY, 77 of Troy, died August 23, 2015 at home with her daughters by her side. She was born March 26, 1938 in Middletown, Connecticut. She was predeceased by her husband, Frederick L. Braley of Troy. Natalie is survived by four children, Sheryl Durkee and husband Kevin of Islesboro, Allen Randall of Islesboro, Robin Randall and husband Adam of Jonesport and Tambara Boudreau and husband Jeremy of Vassalboro; grandchildren Anthony, Danielle, Taniele, Makenzie, Ashley, Reed, Ryan, Robin, Heather, Jake, Caleb, and Kate; great-grandchildren Bobby, John, Calvin, Rebecca and Doug. She is also survived by two brothers, Enos Schissler and his wife Judy and George Schissler and wife Robin; two sisters Barbara Schissler of Texas, Regina Schissler and close friend and sister in law, Maxine Schissler. Natalie was known for her love of cooking and keeping us all well fed. Her daughters called her often for recipe tips. The best times were barbecues on her back lawn with all her family and friends. She looked forward every year to visits and spoke daily to her sisters, Elsie and Barbara, who lived out of state. Her sister Elsie Autunno of New Britain, Connecticut passed away just six days before Natalie, and her family is comforted knowing they are together again. She loved her dog Bud, and she will be missed by him as well. Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday August 29, 2015 at Rogers Cemetery in Troy. A reception will follow at Tambara’s home in Vassalboro. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at www.ripostafh.com.
