Veronica Mary
Sullivan
Jun 10, 1931 — Mar 22, 2019
Jensen Beach
|
Veronica "Ronnie" Sullivan of Stuart Florida passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving daughters.
Ronnie was born in Dublin Ireland to the late John O'Gorman and Bridie Leonard.
She completed her course in design school and emigrated to the United States.
Ronnie spent the next 39 years with her one true love, Michael "Joe" Sullivan . We believe they are dancing together once again.
Ronnie's immense creativity and talent for sewing and design led her to a position as a children's clothes designer at Hickory Dickory Frock company in Boston , MA. This passion for creative projects and design continued throughout her life. From sewing her daughters' childhood clothes and eventually their weddings dresses, creating countless garments for her grandchildren, to tiling an entire bathroom, Ronnie fearlessly took on whatever life threw at her and never feared learning new things .
Ronnie's greatest gift to her family and others was her selflessness and compassion. She never saw a buy one get one sale she didn't like - but not for herself, of course. She loaded her car with goods and delivered them to either House of Hope, Hope Rural School, or any of the other charities she often gave to. E very once in while Ronnie had been known to " Make a deal" with St . Jude for a prime parking spot, and when she found one, she'd immediately send in a donation.
Ronnie was a true friend as witnessed by the many amazing friends she made throughout her life, who will miss her passion for golf, board games, bocce, and ice cream. " To have a good friend is to be a good friend."
Ronnie's advice to all who would listen, " Don't get old there is no future in it."
Ronnie is preceded in death by her husband Michael Joseph Sullivan and her son Michael J. Sullivan.
She leaves to cherish her memories her 3 daughters, Maureen A Rossi, Ann C Sullivan, and Margaret "Peggy" Coppola, and her greatest joy in life, her 10 grandchildren.
