Natalie Olinde

In Loving Memory of Natalie Olinde

With broken hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Natalie Olinde.

Natalie was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, friend, mentor, and inspiration to so many. She is survived by her 2 children, Lexi Gonzales (Jenna Parker) and Wade Parfait Jr “Bubba”; her mother, Debra Olinde and her father Wilfred Olinde “Pappy” (deceased); her sister, Sherry Coulon (Archie Jr.); her godchildren, Brittany Goulon (Romain) and Dawson Vallee. Natalie was the proud owner of NatFit504, where she poured her heart into helping others become stronger, healthier, and more confident. She was deeply passionate about fitness and dedicated to every one of her clients, always believing in their potential even when they struggled to believe in themselves. She had a gift for encouraging others, lifting people up, and reminding them that they were capable of more than they realized. Above all else, Natalie loved her family. She was everyone’s biggest fan, always cheering on the people she loved. She never missed an opportunity to capture life’s moments and share them with family and friends on Facebook. She was one of the smartest people we knew, a fierce fighter, and someone whose strength and determination inspired those around her. Those who loved Natalie choose to remember the incredible woman she was—her compassion, her resilience, her generous heart, and the way she made people feel seen and believed in. She left a mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her, and her love, encouragement, and spirit will continue to live on through the countless lives she touched.

Natalie’s family will receive friends on Friday, July 10, from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at Mothe Funeral Home, 7040 Lapalco Blvd., Marrero, LA 70072. A funeral service will follow in the chapel at 11:00 a.m.
