Marianne Elizabeth Hyatt, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2024, just two days shy of her 78th birthday. Born on December 26, 1946, in Chelsea, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of William and Helen Lynch. Marianne's life was full of love, creativity, and a commitment to caring for others.

Marianne's professional journey began with her education as a Registered Nurse - a career that showcased her intelligence, dedication, and compassionate nature. She touched the lives of countless patients, providing them with care and comfort during their most vulnerable moments.

Marianne was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Gerald Hyatt, and her beloved brother, William "Billy" Lynch. Their absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who loved her. However, she is survived by her sons, Bret (Venera) Stout and Brent Hyatt. Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren, Sasha and Troy, and Carter, Olivia, Brent Jr., and Lauren.

Marianne was a woman of many passions. She found joy and freedom in roller skating. She also had a talent for writing poetry and drawing. She won several awards for her poetry in addition to some of her work being published. Throughout her life, Marianne had an affinity for collecting dolls and teddy bears – her favorite animal. Her passions reflected her vibrant personality and love for artistry.
