Natalie M.

Bliss

Natalie M. Bliss, 58, passed peacefully on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, in her home with her husband and daughter by her side.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 36 years, Jerry Bliss; her loving daughter, Hannah Bliss; her siblings, Paula Wohldmann, Steve Hyink, Carrie Hyink, and Mary Rust; her father-in-law, Russell Bliss; and her brother-in-law, Cash Bliss.

Natalie is reunited in Heaven with her parents, Robert and Nanon Hyink; her mother-in-law, Evelyn Bliss; and a host of cowboys, cowgirls, and horses that loved her deeply.

She earned a business degree from Maryville University and served as the Treasurer of the family car business as well as a horse trainer. She traveled the country to countless rodeos, barrel races, and team ropings, often with her husband and daughter by her side.

She was a wonderful friend, as evidenced by her many visitors. She was loyal, selfless, honest, and witty. She had a knack for finding the best ice cream shops and loved Dr. Pepper.

Natalie's ashes will be spread in a private family ceremony at the barn, her favorite place on Earth. May she rest there in peace, and may those who cared for her continue to feel her unconditional love.

Natalie faced her 20-year battle with Multiple Sclerosis with bravery, grace, and dignity. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the National MS Society .
