Natalie Elizabeth Nobriga

Natalie Elizabeth Nobriga, 46, passed away peacefully on February 16,

2026, in Vernon, Texas, surrounded by her loving family.

Natalie was born on February 22, 1979, in Hayward, California. She brought warmth and gentleness into every room she entered. Everyone who knew her described her as the sweetest person. She had a tender heart, a quiet strength, and a way of loving others that made them feel safe and cherished.

Family was the center of Natalie’s world. She leaves behind her loving mother, Sindy Oustad of Crowell, Texas; her sister, Elizabeth Nobriga of Vernon, Texas; and her two daughters, Mary Nobriga of Wichita Falls, Texas, and Alisyn Lewis of Vernon, Texas her loving partner in life Sean Ruark.

She also leaves behind her four precious grandchildren, Sebastian, Sara, Savanna, and Oaklynn, who were a beautiful extension of her love and legacy. In addition, she leaves behind three cherished nieces, Brooklyn, Kyler, and Anabella, along with many extended family members and friends who will forever hold her memory close.

Though her time here was far too short, the love Natalie gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

We will be having a private service at a later date.
