It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Veona (Hart) Cashman age 95, of East Hartford, CT, on March 8, 2025. Born on March 2, 1930, Veona was a long-time resident of both East Hartford and Glastonbury. She was deeply devoted to her family. She passed surrounded by her loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and unconditional love.

Veona was predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Robert Cashman and her parents, William and Caroline Hart, Dorothy (Stepmother), her brother, Gordon and her sister, Ardeth. She is survived by her brother, Douglas, and by her six children: Mark Cashman of New York, Traci Constantine of Enfield, Laurene (Douglas) D’Aversa of East Hartford, Lyle (Michelle) Cashman of North Carolina, Shari (Peter) Melillo of New Hartford and Cynthia (Barry) Zorda of Coventry.
