Thomas L. Natolly, age 88, of Millville, DE, formerly of Frostburg, MD, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 16, 2025, surrounded by his loving family in the comfort of his home.

Born on January 5, 1937, in Frostburg, MD, he was the son of the late Thomas Philip Natolly and the late Helen (Kelly) Natolly.

Tom also served his community as President of the Frederick County Sheriff's Association Citizen Advisory Committee for many years. After moving to Delaware in 2007, he enjoyed fishing at the Jetty, driving his Corvette, and spending time with his beloved Labrador Retrievers and Collies-especially Kelly.
