Hancock County has been home for Natalie Zuberbuhler Osmun and her late husband, Robert Osmun, since the fall of 1972. “For over 45 years, Hancock County has been my home. It is my desire to contribute in some small way to helping individuals and families in this community who are struggling not just by giving them a helping hand, but by walking alongside them and encouraging them to grow and believe they can become valued and productive members of this community. In faith we are planting seeds for future generations to bear fruit. In faith, my father Walter and my mother Dorothy Zuberbuhler raised a family of four. They encouraged us, guided us and planted the seeds of compassion and love for others in us.”

Nathalie created the Walter J. Zuberbuhler II Memorial Scholarship Fund for the benefit of Arlington High School graduates. “I have lived in the Arlington School district over 25 years, where my neighbors’ children have attended school,” said Nathalie. “Having attended some school events, talking to parents and people that were involved and/or employed by the school, and receiving updates from the Arlington Academic Alliance regarding school science programs and needs, I wanted to start a scholarship fund for a graduate of Arlington who is planning to continue their education in a STEM field.”
