Nydia Milagros Schuster, known lovingly to family and friends as Milly, passed away on October 15, 2026, in Tallahassee, Florida, at the age of 87.
Milly was born and raised in Utuado, Puerto Rico. She became an airline stewardess working for Pan American World Airways, where she met her future husband, Robert, who was a pilot for Pan-Am. Milly and Robert settled down in New Jersey, where she was a full-time homemaker. In 1992, Milly relocated to West Palm Beach, Florida, where she spent her time as a volunteer for various social organizations and caring for her beloved Huskys. Milly moved to Tallahassee, Florida in 2024 to be closer to family. Milly will always be fondly remembered for her love and devotion to family, friends, and adopted fur-babies.
Nydia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Schuster, as well as her parents, Jorge and Petra Carmona.
She is survived by her sons, Eric Schuster and his wife, Gwen, and Robert Schuster. She is also survived by her sister, Mary Katherine “Kitty” Digiacomo, and by her grandchildren, Ryan Schuster and his wife, Mackenzie, Justin Schuster and his wife, Noelle, and Mia Badman.
A celebration of Nydia’s life will be announced at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to the Lambe Family at Marianna Chapel Funeral Home.
