Betty Ann was a graduate of St. Peter's School, Hartford Public High School, Norwalk Community College and the University of Connecticut. She was the school nurse at South Catholic High School, Bulkeley High School and Dwight Elementary School. Betty was always taking care of others, whether it be a dog, a friend of her children's or a student from school that needed help. She loved hosting social gatherings and her door at the beach was always open to all who stopped by. Betty was a loving wife, mother, nana, aunt, cousin and friend to all. Along with her husband, she will be greatly missed by her son, KC Sullivan, his wife Tara and their children Harper and Hayden, of London, England; her daughter, Mary Ellen O'Neill, her husband Michael and their children Finnegan, Owen, Kellan and Maeve, of Dover, MA; and her daughter, Kelly Larson, her husband Jon, their daughter Bridget and soon to be born Baby Larson, who Betty Ann was anxiously awaiting, of Old Lyme.

She is also survived by several cousins, among them, Margaret Root, Ann-Marie Szerejko, Lorraine Wetstone, and Barbara Carlevale with whom she shared a sisterly bond. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Charles "Chuck" Kelly, her brother-in-law Robert P. Sullivan Jr, and nephew Michael Sullivan. Friends and relatives may call on Sunday May 5, 2019 from 3:00 to 6:00 PM at the Farley-Sullivan Funeral Home, 34 Beaver Road, Wethersfield.

I was so shocked to hear of Betty Ann's passing. Her mom and dad were great friends with my parents and our lives crossed when you lived on April Dr and my family on Addison Rd. Our children were similar in age and we were together at events in town. My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your extended family.
