Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

Elizabeth “Jean” Hathaway, 72, of Vero Beach, Florida passed away on December 7, 2024.

Jean had been a long-time resident of Sebastian, Florida, coming from Bethesda, Maryland. Jean was a graduate of the Sandy Spring Friends School. She later worked at the Department of Agriculture’s Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland until her retirement and move to Florida.

Most dear to Jean were her family, faith and fellowship. Jean enjoyed singing in the choir at church and was a member of Saint Mark Presbyterian Church in Bethesda, Maryland; Kashi Ashram in Sebastian, Florida; and Sebastian United Methodist Church in Sebastian, Florida. Jean liked to be helpful and found ways to be of service to others by volunteering her time at a children’s hospital or teaching literacy skills to adults.

Jean was predeceased by her parents, Caleb and Catherine Hathaway and her sister, Susan Hathaway. She is survived by her brother, Caleb Richard Hathaway, “Narayana,” his wife and their children and grandchildren. Jean was proud to be an aunt and great-aunt to her nieces and nephews.

She will be laid to rest in Maryland where she had fond memories of the Potomac River and enjoying wildflowers in the spring and summer. A celebration of life will be held mid-January in Sebastian, Florida.

Arrangements are under the direction of Millennium Cremation Service. Condolences may be shared online at www.millenniumcremationservice.com.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
