Natalie A Findish

Natalie A. Findish (nee Kacher), age 85, a lifelong resident of Lorain, passed away on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, following a long and fulfilling life. She spent the last two years of her life at Lorain Estates Assisted Living, where she enjoyed her caregivers, meals, and her orderly room. Natalie was born on August 5, 1939, in Lorain, Ohio, the oldest of three children to John and Mary (nee Kowalski) Kacher. She was a graduate of Lorain High School Class of 1957B. After a short stint working at a bank, she married George Findish on June 7, 1958. Together they raised four children, Robert (Deb), Ronald (Carolyn), Randal, and Marie (Jeff) Schroeder. Natalie was a loving wife, sister, aunt, friend and most importantly, a wonderful mother and grandmother. She prided herself in taking care of her family and her love for them was unconditional. She loved to crochet and cross-stitch. Holidays were her favorite as she loved to decorate for each season, send cards, and gather with family. Her kind heart and sweet disposition will be deeply missed. Shortly after high school, Natalie and her six friends decided to form a club calling themselves the Sevenettes. They met monthly for meals and sisterhood for over sixty years. This group of women was very important to Natalie as they raised their families and supported each other through every phase of life. Natalie was a member of the former Holy Trinity Catholic Church. She is currently a member of St. Peter Catholic Church. She was also a member of St. John/Holy Trinity Lodge #228. Natalie was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, George, in 2019, and her sister-in-law Detna Kacher. Besides her children, Natalie is survived by seven grandchildren, Ryan Findish, Lauren Findish-Persaud (Geron), and Lea Findish; Sophie, Ella, Ava, and Jake Schroeder; and four great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her two brothers, Ernest Kacher and Al (Lynne) Kacher. Natalie is also survived by her bonus grandchildren, Janet and Karyn Bellush. The family would like to thank New Life Hospice for all the care and compassion to Natalie and her family these last few weeks. The family will receive friends Friday, February 21, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Gluvna-Shimo-Hromada Funeral Chapel, 3224 Broadway, Lorain.
