Carolyn Sullivan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born January 11, 1935 in Salem, Indiana, she was the daughter of the late Alvin Robert and Mary Gayle (Walton) Maudlin
She adored her children: Johnny (Lea Ann) Sullivan, Philip Sullivan, Carol Sue Sullivan and Sherri (Greg) Purkhiser; her grandchildren: Ashley Tarr, Jared Sullivan, Olivia Harlamert, Nyle Sullivan, Dusty Sullivan, Megan Sullivan, Dylan Sullivan and Paige Bavaro; 12 great grandchildren and one on the way.
She is also survived by 2 brothers, Robert LaRue Maudlin of Orleans and Gary Maudlin of Salem.
Carolyn had been a life resident of Washington County, a 1953 Salem High School graduate and attended Spencerian College in Louisville.
She owned and operated Sullivan's Community Grocery, worked at the old Bata Shoe Factory and was a private home caregiver for many years.
Her children and grandchildren were her treasure. She loved all the holiday get-togethers and birthday parties. She cross stitched all her children and grandchildren a quilt, traveled to Branson, Missouri 15 times, the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman, Loretta Lynn Ranch, Butcher Holler and anywhere to hear old time country music. A plaque on her carport said, 'Gone to Bingo' and she always had a Circle the Word Search, by her chair.
In the last few years, Carolyn was thankful for her caregivers and those who gave her a ride to and from church.
Thanks to Care First Home Health for caring for her in her last days.
She was preceded in death by 2 sons: Johnny and Philip Sullivan and 1 brother: Miles Maudlin.
