In Memoriam: Julianne Sharratt

HARTWICK—Julianne (Juli) Sharratt, 65, who owned Beaver Valley Campground with her late husband, Dwaine, and their children, passed away Friday night, November 3, 2023, at her home in the Town of Hartwick following an unexpected diagnosis of cancer in July 2023.
Born December 11, 1957 in Webster, Massachusetts, Juli was the daughter of Julian Paul (“Peewee”) Kaczynski and Rosemarie (Neeser) Kaczynski. She spent her early years in her father’s barber shop, flying to Florida in his plane, and going to “too many rock concerts.” After high school, she moved across the country to California.

They arrived there in the summer of 1980 and Juli and Dwaine married in August 1983.…

She was born to George Frederick “Fritz” and Ellrose (VanTassell) Hoyt on August 24, 1940. 
Diana was a lifelong area resident and some of her fondest memories were on Goodyear Lake. She graduated from Oneonta High School. After meeting Eldred Holliday, she raised a family of three. A strong work ethic was something that Diana was proud of, working locally at Mike's Diner, The Milford Meat Market, The Elm Inn and the Hannah-Lee House. She was a true homesteader and loved canning, making her own butter, and raising their own food to feed her family. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joys to Diana. She enjoyed her little piece of heaven on Crumhorn Mountain; gardening, riding her four-wheeler and harnessing her horse, “Maggie-Mae,” and most of all her grandchildren.…
