Veronica Hyatt

Veronica Hyatt

Age - 83

November 6, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Veronica (Atkinson) Hyatt, 83 on September 28th surrounded by her loving husband. She was born in Liverpool, England on June 3, 1940, to David Atkinson and Elizabeth (Frazier) Atkinson, the youngest daughter of seven children. She was predeceased by her siblings, Bernard Garrity, Frank Atkinson, Margaret McCoy, Brian Atkinson, and Ronald Atkinson. Veronica was best known for her signature hair bun and English accent. Coming to the United States March 5, 1960, at the age of 20, as an au pair, she soon after met the love of her life. According to her, Kenneth left a smile on her heart the first time they met. On May 12, 1962, the two exchanged their vows at St. Mary's Church and promised each other a lifetime of love and happiness. The two established their first home that was built from scratch by her love in Silvermine, CT. A proud Brit and a proud American, she represented her love for both countries by displaying her collection of horse brass around her house and an American flag pinned on every blouse. Most days you could find Veronica reading books by her favorite author, Danielle Steele with a nice hot cup of tea or watching the Hallmark channel as she was a hopeless romantic. As a creative outlet, Veronica would demonstrate her painting skills by painting handsaws and milk cans with beautiful country landscapes. As she was a beautiful artist, she also was an even greater baker. Her cakes were as lovely on the eyes as they were on the palate. One of the biggest traits that Veronica was known for was her giving heart. Always putting people before herself made her one of the most selfless people. And if she did not have a gift to give, she always gave the gift of laughter. Her sense of humor was undeniable. Constantly making jokes, she would get everyone laughing so hard that she would even start to cry. Veronica is survived by her husband, Kenneth Hyatt, her daughter and son-in-law Heather and Joseph Carusone and their two children Michelle Frayne (Chris) and Peter Carusone. She was also survived by her son and daughter-in-law Kenneth Jr. and Jane Hyatt and their two children Kristen Benitez (Zachary McEwan) and William Benitez (Brittany Boudreau). Additionally, she was survived by her brother, David Atkinson of Washington state as well as several nieces and nephews. The entire Hyatt family will be forever grateful to the loving caregivers and friends that helped her throughout the years. Their smiles, humor and genuine compassion to our beloved Veronica will never be forgotten. A Celebration of Life Reception will be held at a later date. Arrangements are by Dominick T. Adamo Funerals- Cremations-Monuments, 16 Walnut Street, Mifflinburg PA.Show more

Age - 100

November 6, 2023

She was greeted with cheers, hugs, kisses and high fives in April of 2023 when she celebrated her milestone birthday of 100 years, outliving her brother and each of her eight sisters. Now with her passing on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, each of those same 34 nieces, nephews, great and great-great nieces and nephews who came together for her birthday will assemble once again to mourn her death. Graveside services at Mifflinburg cemetery will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 11 am. Born on April 25, 1923 in MIfflinburg, a daughter of the late Charles and Hannah Emma (Hauck) Weiser. She is a descendant of Frederick Weiser, the fourth child born to John Conrad Weiser and Anna Magdelena Uebele Weiser. She graduated from Mifflinburg High School class of 1940. At the age of 22, she went to live with her sisters in Philadelphia, where she enrolled in a two year phlebotomy program offered by the Pennsylvania Hospital. Upon her graduation she transferred to Children's Hospital where she worked in several of the hospital's clinical laboratories, eventually becoming the head of the serology Lab, a position she held for many years until she retired. She taught dozens of Students and mentored many at the beginning of their careers. Her interests were many. She loved to travel, driving once to California and back in her stylish, white Chevrolet convertible Impala with red leather seats, and making many other trips around the eastern part of the United States and Canada. She expressed her creativity with photography owning several 35 mm cameras, one of the first Poaroids and a Kodak Super 8 mm movie camera, projector and screen. She appreciated the arts so much so that she held season tickets for many years to the Phildelphia Orchestra, the Walnut Street Theater and National Geographic Travelogues. Often, she went to New York to see operas at the Met. She loved to garden, grow flowers and watch birds. In her later years she took lay ministry courses offered by the Methodist church, gave programs for the Women's auxiliary, and served as her church's Treasurer for more than a decade. While we will no longer be able to see her in person, our beloved matriarch will be watching down on her surviving family members, safeguarding and guiding them to their next lives. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Eleanor`s memory may be sent to the charity of one's choice.
