Rita Nadolny: A Life of Love and Strength
Rita Nadolny, age 66, of Erie, PA, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on January 20, 1959, Rita lived her life with remarkable love and strength. She had a unique way of making everyone feel welcome, truly like a part of her family, and she cherished every moment spent with her loved ones.
A gifted artist and cook, Rita delighted in creating beauty and sharing delicious meals. She also shared a special connection with her animals and found great joy tending to her garden. Her enthusiasm extended to cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and she fondly remembered her time at camp, and the joy of dancing with her friends. Rita was a true warrior and a fierce friend to all. Though her loss leaves a hole in many hearts, her memory will live on through the stories and love she gave so freely.
Rita's loving legacy continues through her four devoted children: Amanda, Amber, Linda, and Michael Nadolny. She was also a proud grandmother to six grandchildren: Tristan, Aidan, Michael, Shalyn, Summer, and Sierra, and her four great-grandchildren, Araiah, Liam, Isabella and Logan were truly the light of her life.
She is also survived by six siblings, with whom she shared a lifetime of profound memories and unconditional love Pasquale Milo, Luigi Milo and wife Crystal, Sergio Milo and wife Penny, Stephan Milo, Michael Milo and wife Sami, and Debora Jones and husband Scott.
Rita was preceded in death by her parents, Barbara Ann and Luigi Milo, her beloved sister, Teresa Talbert, and her ex-husband, Brad Nadolny, the loving father of her four children.
