On December 28, 2023, Audrey Hyatt Sazama gained her wings and joined her husband and several children in heaven. She was 93 years old. She was born in Washington, DC, the daughter of late Elnora Brauner and Fremont Howard Hyatt. She raised her family in Wheaton, Maryland and settled in Ocean View, Delaware in her later years.
She was an attentive listener and sympathetic supporter to all who needed it. A mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother to many, she will be dearly missed.
Audrey was cherished by her family and is survived by her daughter, Sharyn Sazama-Moreau, grandchildren, Amy Boyle, Casey Whitman, Christopher Sazama, Shannon Colwell, Shane Boyle, Jessica Kelsey, Theresa Sazama, William Richardson, Stephen Sazama, Patricia Sazama, Bronté Moreau, and Milan Moreau, and 14 great-grandchildren.
Audrey is preceded in death by her husband, William Joseph Sazama, son, William James Sazama (wife Charlotte), daughter Cynthia Ann Richardson (husband Gerald), daughter Patricia Marie Sazama-Petrov (husband Vladimir), and two babies, Stephen Anthony and Gerard Francis.
She was the sister of Jeanne Sloan and half-sisters Carolyn, Elaine, and Thalia, and half-brother Gordon.
A prayer service and burial will be held at Arlington Cemetery, Washington, DC.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully asks that donations be sent to the American Lung Association.
