Olivia Rose Riddagh, age 15, of Norwood/Glenolden, PA, passed away on November 9, 2025.
Born in Drexel Hill, PA, she was the beloved daughter of Frederick Charles “Nick” Riddagh (Tracie Rice) and Jaclyn (nee Jones) Mitchell (Jim).
Olivia was the loving sister of Cody Bachmann; caring stepsister of Mikayla and Juliana Mitchell; adoring granddaughter of Nick and Donna Riddagh and Jackie Jones (Rob Lenge); devoted niece of Erica Tasher (Rob). Also survived by many cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Olivia was a gentle soul, known for her artistic talents and compassionate nature. She possessed a unique ability to see the beauty and goodness in everyone she encountered, embodying bravery and kindness.
Olivia's interests were as colorful as her personality. She had a deep passion for drawing, which allowed her to express her creativity and share her imaginative visions with others. An enthusiastic learner, she was deeply interested in marine biology, often exploring the wonders of the ocean and its inhabitants. Olivia was an avid reader and a budding writer, frequently losing herself in stories that captivated her curious mind. Her love for music was equally diverse, with a particular fondness for the sounds of Gorillaz and Tyler the Creator. She delighted in the simple pleasures of life, including her favorite treats from McDonald's and Dunkin'—especially their hash browns.
Spending time with family was paramount to Olivia. She cherished every moment, creating memories that will forever be held in the hearts of those who loved her. Olivia enjoyed the outdoors and had a special affection for the Jersey Shore, particularly Wildwood, along with the serene landscapes of Friendsville, PA. She loved going to aquariums which always captivated her imagination and nurtured her love for all animals.
Whether you knew her as Olivia. Liv, Willow or Oliver, you know that she truly walked to the beat of her own drum.
