One man is awaiting trial charged with her murder with the trial due to take place next year.
Sadly Natalie is just one of 24 women who have been murdered in the Northern Ireland area since 2020.
The vigil in Lurgan has been organised by Women’s Aid Armagh Down as part of the 16 Days of Action Against Gender Based Abuse, which is drawing to a close with this special event.
The public is asked to join them in Lurgan town centre to remember the lives of the 24 women taken from us.
Women's Aid Armagh Down shared: “90% of women surveyed believe our society has a problem with attitudes of sexism and misogyny.
"Early exposure to misogynistic culture can develop attitudes and behaviours that can lead to harm, abuse and violence against women and girls.”
