Louise Sullivan Obituary
Louise was born on Oct. 1, 1917, the daughter of Joseph and Mary Jane Gaudet. She was a member of the Fitch High School class of 1935. On June 10, 1941, Louise married Clifford J. Sullivan. They were happily married for 68 years until Clifford's passing in 2009. Louise was a loving and caring wife and mother.
Besides Clifford, she was predeceased by her brothers, Joseph, Raymond, and George Gaudet; and her sisters, Kathleen Filippetti, Doris Forbes, Evelyn Fletcher, Rita Elliot and Loretta Gaudet.
She is survived by her children and their spouses, Michael and Linda Sullivan, Mark and Margaret Sullivan, Mary Jane and Stephen Lombardi; grandchildren, Jeffrey, Jeremy, Jacob, and Zachary Sulllivan and Sarah Lombardi; and great-grandchildren, Petersen, Clifford and Sadie Sullivan.
The family is grateful for the loving care provided by Gina Lipasova, Virginia Baksiene, Gintare Kubiliene, Rasa Buoziene, Simona Stankuniene, and Roma Kraujalis. The kindness of Dr. Edward McDermott and his staff is greatly appreciated. The home visitations and spiritual guidance of Rev. Dariusz Dudzik was comforting to our family.

To Mike, Mark and Mary Jane,
Take heart in knowing that Louise is not far away...I have a very strong suspicion that she is listening to those drums once again...missing them both.
