Nanette L. Natoli, 83, of Lenox left this earth on Sunday, May 14 with family at her side to join her loving husband of 64 years, Bart, who predeceased Nan on February 2, 2022. She was born on September 29, 1939 in Scriba, N.Y. to the late Charles and Lois Ferris.
Nan and Bart moved their family from Oswego, N.Y. to Lenox in 1969. Nan held various jobs in the Lenox School system, and in 1979, she began working at Lenox Savings Bank. As testament to Nan’s strong work ethic, she earned an Associate’s degree from Berkshire Community College while working full time at Lenox Savings Bank. After 20 years, Nan retired as Vice President from Lenox Savings Bank.
Nan was a communicant of St. Ann’s Church. She enjoyed hiking, kayaking, quilting, tending her flowers, fishing, and long scenic rides in the Berkshires, but mostly she loved being with her family and friends.
Nan is survived by her children, Mickey C. Natoli (Patricia) of Salem, N.H., Mary L. Hocking of Lenox, Lois M. Ostrander (and spouse Bob) of Longmeadow, Mass.; eight grandchildren, Brennan (and spouse Alba), Brianna and Brayla Natoli, Brittany Hocking (and spouse Shane), Jonathan Hocking, and Bryant Ostrander, Kyle Ostrander (and spouse Gabby), and Connor (Kelsey) Ostrander; two great-granddaughters, Carmen Lucia Natoli and Olivia Wilhelmsen; and her brother, Roland Ferris (and spouse Rosanne) of Schodack, N.Y.
