Obituary: Natalie A. Kahler

    SOUTH PALM BEACH — Natalie A. Kahler of South Palm Beach passed away on Feb. 5. She was 86.

    Mrs. Kahler was born May 21, 1927, in Toledo, Ohio. Shortly after World War II, she was vacationing with her parents, in Hollywood, Fla. As she was strolling with her baby sister at the beach, she met the man who would become her husband, Walter Kahler. 

7960502274?profile=original    It was a typical passionate post-war marriage. Walter ended up building his own house in Lantana for Natalie and their four children.

    The children were all born in the late ’40s-early ’50s at St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach and all graduated from Lake Worth High School. 

    Natalie and Walter, who preceded her in death, also owned a summer camp in New Hampshire. Later the family summered in that state in a house that was also built by Walter.

    In the children’s teen years, they relocated their summer place to Long Beach Island, N.J.

    Natalie was a stay-at-home mom, but with a husband who thought outside the box and four children, she had quite a challenging life, nevertheless. She was a devoted wife and mother.

    Mrs. Kahler is survived by her four children and her sister (that baby she was strolling!)

    The family is planning a celebration of Natalie’s life at a future time. Both her and her husband’s ashes likely will be scattered in New Hampshire.

    Natalie passed away peacefully, in the Lantana home her husband built, in the loving care of her daughters and Hospice.

    Her neighbors at Barbican, in South Palm Beach, all cherished Natalie. She was a quiet and gentle person. In this day and age, we can all appreciate that.
