Natalie L. Kennison, 93, of Keene, New Hampshire, passed away on June 25th, 2026, in the comfort of her home.

Natalie was born on August 5th, 1932, in Summit, New Jersey, to the late Charles Wesley "Wes" Milburn and Natalie (Clement) Milburn. She graduated high school in Wellesley, Mass before moving to St. Johnsbury, VT. She eventually settled in the Monadnock Region.

Natalie loved to travel, and her globetrotting adventures took her to Europe, Asia and even Antarctica. She liked to paint and was an accomplished artist, both acrylics and watercolors. She was a gourmet chef, and instilled in all her children the love of good food and the enjoyment of travel.

She adored her Siamese cats, and was active in raising, breeding and showing cats. She was a member of St. James Episcopal Church, working at the church thrift store. In her later years she also lived in Colorado and North Carolina, where she was active in her local church and volunteered at the church store. She eventually returned to Keene, where she also enjoyed bird watching.

Natalie was predeceased by her husband, Wayne A. Kennison.

Natalie is survived by her three children, Thomas Dill of Littleton, CO, Debra Dill of Fairfax Station, VA and Mark Dill of Troy; 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; as well as a half-sister Gretchen Guerra, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Natalie's name to any charity of your choosing.
