Nola Faye Rautio

Nola Faye Rautio, born Nola Faye Bilow, passed away on November 9, 2026, in Beloit, Wisconsin, at the age of 83. She was born on May 30, 1943, in Michigan, and will be remembered with deep affection for the warmth she brought to her family and the simple, generous joys that shaped her life.

Nola found happiness in the comforts and traditions that made a house feel like home. She loved watching the Hallmark Channel and cherished holidays with her family, treasuring those gatherings and the memories made around them. She also loved to crochet, and through that gift she created blankets for all of her grandchildren, leaving them with keepsakes stitched with care and love. When she was able, she volunteered for autistic fundraisers, offering her time in a spirit of compassion and service.

Family was at the heart of Nola’s life. She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Winters, and her son, Jeff Rautio, who carry forward her memory with love. The devotion she showed to her family could be felt in the traditions she upheld, the comfort she gave, and the many ways she expressed her care through both presence and action.

She was preceded in death by her daughters, Vicki Lois and Stacey Lois, and by her parents, Lloyd and Delores Bilow. Their memory remained part of the story of her life, and she now rests with those who went before her.

Nola will be remembered for her loving heart, her generosity, and the quiet ways she made life brighter for those around her. Her memory will live on in family celebrations, in handmade blankets held close, and in the enduring love she gave so freely.

Celebration of Nola's life will be held at a later date.
