Mark W. Nadolski

Mark William Nadolski, born on January 28, 1952, to Alvin and Rosemary Nadolski, passed away on January 20, 2025. A Milwaukee native, Mark spent his childhood fishing with his older brother Greg, attending Braves games at Milwaukee County Stadium, and running cross country.

Mark married Theresa Nadolski (née Kilcoyne), with whom he shared a loving life and raised three children: Rosemary (Keith Beste), Joseph, and Molly (Ryan Sellors). He was also a proud grandfather to Sebastian, Tallulah, Eamon, and Milo, and step-grandchildren Oscar and Charlotte. Mark is also survived by his brothers Gary, Thomas, and James. Mark is now reunited in Heaven with his beloved wife Theresa, his parents, and his brothers Gregory and Alvin and his sister Margaret. 

A graduate of Marquette University, Mark dedicated his career to helping children as a Speech Pathologist at Elm Creative Arts Elementary School. His work left a lasting impact on countless young lives. Beyond his professional contributions, Mark had a deep love for the outdoors (known to be a legendary “voyageur”), theater, music, and sports—especially cheering for the Green Bay Packers. A highlight in his acting career was being part of the 1997 cult classic independent movie “Coven” and its follow-on documentary film “American Movie”. Weekends often found him listening to the Blues in the early morning hours, playing softball, or performing in dinner theater productions at Melanec’s Wheelhouse.

Mark will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering love for his family and friends. His warm heart touched everyone he met, leaving an indelible imprint on those who knew him.

In honor of Mark’s legacy of compassion and dedication, the family requests that memorial donations be made in his name to the Alzheimer’s Association. May his memory continue to inspire those who loved him and bring comfort to all who hold him dear. He will be very deeply missed. 

Family and friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral service for Mark, which will be held at Mother of Good Counsel Parish in Milwaukee on February 15th, with visitation beginning at 11am and service beginning at 12pm. A reception will follow immediately after.
