Natalie Verde Blanton, age 49, passed away on May 10, 2025.

She was born October 25, 1975 in Price, Utah to Dan and Ellene Fossat Verde.

Natalie was the youngest, “feistiest”, and most stubborn of the three girls. Natalie spent her younger years in Carbon County where she graduated from Carbon High School, the College of Eastern Utah, and then attended Weber State University and Utah State University.

She married Rickie Blanton in 1999, they had 3 beautiful daughters, Miranda, Brittney and LeeAnne. They later divorced.

Natalie spent many years chasing her demons in towns around Utah. Finally settling in the Salt Lake area, where she met the love of her life, Brandon Bullock.  You could always find her on any given day discussing her three beautiful girls and how proud she was of them and their accomplishments.  She loved her family and girls.  Though she never found her place in this life, she is now back with her mom and dad where the struggles of this world can’t follow her.  Rest in peace little sister, until we are all together again. We Love You.

In Natalie’s own words “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all”.

She is survived by her very, very, patient and loving sisters, Angela (Erik) Sandstrom, Kristina (Richard) Schade; her three amazing daughters, Miranda, Brittney, and LeeAnne Blanton; her aunts, Eve Mary Verde and Darlene Lowe; and her loving and supporting boyfriend, Brandon Bullock; nicknamed Bubba at an early age by her Aunt Eve Mary, she became Aunt Bubba to five nieces and nephews, Tanner, Vanessa, Ashley, Lindsay and Levi.
