She attended schools in Gilbert, Mesa, AZ, then at BYU and graduated from ASU. Nathele was well known for her musical abilities on the piano and organ as an accompanist.

Faithfully and happily, through her life, she served in some capacity in the ward and stake LDS auxiliaries. Working in the Mesa and Boise temples and then serving a mission in SLC at the age of 80 kept her young.She raised seven children, Andrea Nathele Child of Kuna, ID; Morgan Dale Bowers of Clinton, UT; Charlotte Ann Odale of Midvale, UT; Daniel Grant Bowers of Sandy, UT; Russell Wesley Bowers of Mesa, AZ; David Parley Bowers of Boise, ID and Steven King Bowers of Coolidge, AZ.She was preceded in death by her husband Wesley Raymond Bowers, parents Lottie Ethel Noble and Parley King, siblings Lorraine Isaccson and Noble King.
