Loretta M. (Nahaj) Miller, 83 of Uniontown passed away on Friday September 8, 2023 at Latrobe Hospital. Born February 25, 1940 in Oliver, PA, daughter of the late Michael and Anna (Pavlovcak) Nahaj. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her Sister Margaret Goncus and brother Michael Nahaj Jr. She is survived by her sisters Ann Tompkins, Mary (David) Matyas and Eugene Nahaj. A 1958 graduate from North Union High School.
Loretta, also known as LaLa and La to her family and close friends, cultivated a zest for life and close friendships through her vivacious and playful spirit. One of Loretta's greatest gifts was her ability to always have a story at hand, and many of those stories came from her experiences at St. Mary’s Catholic School, growing up in Oliver Heights, and over 40 years working at Rockwell/Sensus in Uniontown where she cherished her co-workers and mentored many younger employees. Her quick wit and humorous anecdotes were legendary, leaving family and friends with endless memories of shared laughter and joy. Loretta’s love knew no bounds, and she made family and friends feel cherished, seen, and valued in their unique ways. She was a beloved sister, wife, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend to many, and her memory will forever live on in their hearts. Loretta will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her legacy of love, laughter, strength and resilience will continue to inspire us all.
