Mr Arthur E. Mikoleit's Obituary
ARTHUR EDWARD MIKOLEIT, formally of Bethel Park, died on February 13, 2025 in his personal care home with a few weeks of hospice care caused by complications from a urinary tract infection. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pa on December 5, 1929. Of the four brothers, Larry lives with his wife Norma Jean in Pleasant Hills, PA and Kenneth lives in Las Vegas with his wife Rose. Older Brother Fred resided in California and is now deceased. Art and Lucille raised 3 children after marrying September 13, 1952. Barbara Rioja lives in Lower Burrell, Philip Mikoleit, currently lives in Lower Burrell, and Gerald Mikoleit, lives in California. Arthur's grandchildren are Brandon Rioja, (Wife-Jennifer Knapp) living in Lower Burrell, and Jonathan (Wife-Maria Linuwih) living in Houton Texas. Art's five great grandchildren are Riojas: Holden, Eleanor, Duncan, Bianca, and Nathan. A phrase that Art for years always answered to people when they asked him how he is doing. His response was "Fantastic. Glad you asked!" no matter how he looked or felt. On one of Dad's last days, an aide came into his bedroom at the personal care home. Art was very sick. She got very close to his ear and asked him how he was doing? Art could barely talk but he whispered "Fantastic" as one of his last words.
