Ruby Sullivan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 30, 2023.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ruby Lee Sullivan, who peacefully passed away on April 1st, 2023, at the age of 90. Ruby was born in Texas on August 17th, 1932, and made her way to California when she was 13. She made Fremont her home for the last 60 years. Ruby was married to Marine veteran Robert "Papa" Sullivan, and together they made many cherished memories.

Ruby loved exercising and went to work out every day for 40 years. This is where she met her group of lady friends whom she just adored! In addition to exercising, she enjoyed gardening, dancing, baking, and completing crossword puzzles, which kept her mind sharp.

She is survived by her two daughters, Linda Coffee and Dee Dee Sullivan, and son Robert Sullivan Jr., along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren whom she adored. We can't forget her precious dogs, Emily and Katy, who miss her dearly.

Rest in peace, Ruby. You'll always be missed and never forgotten.

A private service with family and close friends whom she loved dearly will be held to celebrate her life.
