Natalie Leda Kent, age 93, passed away Friday, December 29, 2023, in Albuquerque, NM. She was born June 23, 1930, to her parents, Lucille Sanchez and Jacob Baca, in Albuquerque, NM.

She is survived by her three children, Douglas Kent, Jean Hansel, and Debbie Gomez; and her beautiful 12 grandchildren.

Natalie loved going on her walks and had many companion's. Being healthy again and being with her other family members must be wonderful. She loved to go out to eat, and now Natalie will always have her "hot" cup of coffee.

So here we are, to say so long for now to Natalie, a beloved mother, wife, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, and friend; and While its so sad to see her go, its also a beautiful thing to know she is able to go for her long walks again.

 Since Natalie didn’t want any fanfare or get togethers in her honor, the family will respect her wishes. Thank you for your love, kindness, and sweet words. I know we will all keep Natalie close in our hearts. 

Inurnment will be held at Santa Fe's Veteran National Cemetery on February 12, at 11:00 AM; 501 N Guadalupe St, Santa Fe, NM 87501.

                                                                                              Psalm 23-

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
 for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.”
