Nada Lee Brady

Nada Brady, affectionately known as Dusty to her loved ones, passed away on November 30, 2024. Born in Pittsburg, CA on February 11, 1942, to Leah Rivizza and Frank Seeno, Dusty's life was as colorful and vibrant as her nickname suggests. She lived in various places across the United States, including Hawaii and Germany, before finally settling down in Tacoma, Washington, a place she was proud to call home for 40 years.
Dusty, a retired administrative assistant from Central Washington University, was much more than her occupation. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose door was always open to not only her family but also to many others whom she "adopted" into her heart. Her children, Heidi Bird, Jennifer Brady, and LaVonne Rodewald, along with her grandchildren, Tiffany Tusler, Taylor Tusler, Joshua Eggers, Timothy Eggers, Ashley Tarrow, Christa Bird, Nicole Rodewald, Dustin Rodewald, and her ten great-grandchildren, were the light of her life. Dusty's love for them was immeasurable and reflected in her favorite pastime - camping with her grandchildren. However, her true passion was the ocean, a place she found tranquility and peace.
Dusty's life was a testament to her strength, love, and beautiful spirit. She is preceded in death by her parents, Leah Rivizza and Frank Seeno; her grandfather, Barney Tillotson, and her loving spouse, William Brady. Yet, her legacy is carried forward by her family and the countless lives she touched with her warmth and kindness. Dusty's life was a beautiful journey that will forever be celebrated, cherished, and remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
We encourage all who knew Nada 'Dusty' Brady to leave memories and upload photos to her memorial page, to share the joy and love she brought into our lives.
