She was born on Friday, July 19, 1929, in Edna to George Koop and Caroline Cline Koop, She was one of 11 children — six girls and five boys — blessed to this family. Natalie married the love of her life, James "Dale" Crawford, on Friday, Oct. 1, 1948, in Edna and they were blessed with four children: two boys and two girls. Natalie had always wanted to be a nurse, so when they were transferred to Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1966, she had her opportunity to go to nursing school, and she became a LPN. In 1969, they were again transferred to Gonzales, Louisiana, where she nursed at the Federal Leprosarium Hospital in Carville, Louisiana.
