Barbara A. Sullivan, age 58, of Palm Bay, Florida, passed away peacefully into God's loving and eternal care of Monday, September 22, 2025, after a long battle with cancer.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Robert and Ruth May Donnelly, Barbara had been a resident of Palm Bay for the last six years, coming from Florence, New Jersery.

She was married to the late John A. Sullivan.

Barbara is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Desiree and Saeed Garner; four beloved granddaughters, Mya Dunn, Dayani, Katina, and Genesis; and one great-grandson Hebreux. She is also survived by her siblings, Ruthann Donnelly, Robert Donnelly, and Albert Donnelly; as well as best friends Arline Paczewski and Annamarie Pirnie, along with her sisters-in-law Nancy Marano and Brenda Kirk; several nieces, nephews, their families; all of her friends and Catherine Gypp.

Barbara valued the precious time spent with her family and friends above all else, cherishing every moment together. She was also an avid reader, loved the beach and being outdoors. She had a smile that light the room and a laugh that was contagious.
