Ann Sullivan Obituary

Groton - Ann Elizabeth Faulkner Sullivan, 63, of Groton passed away peacefully at Yale New Haven Hospital Thursday, July 9, 2020. Born in Hartford June 12, 1957, she was the daughter of the late Ivan and Dorothy Faulkner of East Lyme.

She is survived by her husband and love of her life, John Sullivan, whom she married Nov. 25, 1978. She is also survived by her three children, Samantha Sullivan Batch and husband Kevin, of Waterford, Patrick Sullivan and his wife AnneFay, of Gales Ferry and Kelley Sullivan, of Pawcatuck; and her three grandchildren, who were the light of her life, Ian, Irelyn and Reagan. In addition, she is survived by her sister, Eileen Faulkner Bagwell and husband Karl, of East Lyme; and niece and goddaughter, Lauren Bagwell Ball and husband Brandon, of Niantic; and numerous extended family who loved her dearly.

Ann was a proud Class of 1975 graduate of East Lyme High School. She received her associate's degree from Three Rivers Community College, and her three advanced degrees, BA, MSM and MBA, from Albertus Magnus College. She started her career at Pfizer Inc. Groton as an administrative assistant and worked her way up to information security lead, Global Security AMER, until her retirement in April 2016.

Her many accomplishments include, but are not limited to: co-director of the children's choir at Sacred Heart Church; organizer of the Sacred Heart Annual Antique Show; vice president of Nutmeg Fife and Drum Corps; chair for three St. Bernard graduation parties; United Way campaign chair; Terri Brodeur Foundation Walk board member; committee chair for Class of 75 Reunions and producer of the Pfizer Players, bringing a small theatre group into a grand theatrical experience. She was an accomplished seamstress who loved sewing, most recently creating hundreds of masks during the pandemic. Her hobbies also included craft projects, baking famous braid bread, playing the piano and organ, singing, reading and anything and everything Christmas. Always eager to host relatives and friends, she will be remembered as a true planner and organizer. She loved spending time with her family and friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 15, at Sacred Heart Church, 58 Sacred Heart Drive, Groton. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the first 100 people will be permitted to attend. Masks will be required. The funeral mass will be live streamed.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Sullivan family. We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Ann. Our children attended Sacred Heart School together. I remember Ann as a devoted, loving and energetic Mom. My son, Reilly recalled how he used to enjoy being invited to Patrick's house. He said going to the Sullivan's was always so much fun, they were always doing so many different activities. We left Groton many years ago but Ann never forgot us. Every year the Sullivan's Christmas card and letter was the first Christmas card we received. My family always looked forward to reading the letter.
She was a very special person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear John and family, I'm absolutely shocked and saddened. Ann was a very special person whom I knew for years at Pfizer and admired for her energy and drive to earn academic degrees while working. It was always a pleasure to interact with her and a joy to really get to know her as my seamstress. She always brought a smile and I'm sure she will bring that to Heaven. My condolences to you all.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ann's passing. She was one of the most energetic, fun, loving and talented persons I knew. When I met her at Pfizer and learned she was a seamtress, that cemented our friendship! I will miss our talks and coffee whenever I came to drop off clothes for her to alter. Thank you all for allowing her to share so much of her time and love with so many, in so many ways.

July 13, 2020

Dear Sullivan family: It is with heavy heart, this message is written: I am still in shock to learn this news. Ann was such a talented and dearly loved person. Truly she was a giver and a wonderful organizer, planner, co-worker and seamstress. Besides all the Pfizer Players interactions with Ann and her family, there were the Essex Steam Train Halloween excursions, the Pfizer Players Board Meetings and United Way. Ann even made curtains for my new house one time when I asked for her talent there. It was probably 1994 when I first started to get to know her through Pfizer Players. Surely, her life was taken too soon from you, her family, and everyone else who loved and knew her. Please accept my sincerest condolences. David Tingley

Heaven has gained another rae of sunshine to shine down upon us. An extraordinary wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and true friend. Her smile and laugh will resonate inside my mind forever. She is now on a stage of her own and the memories we all hold of her will last us our lifetime. I shall see Ann in another time in life but until then we will make her proud of what we do down here on earth. Hugs to John, Samantha, Patrick and Kelli as well as all other family and friends. We certainly have lost one of the BEST!

My heart aches with this news and my sincere condolences to John and the whole family... her love for each one of you was fierce. I carry with me such amazing memories of the years we worked together and the fun we had. Im smiling as I recall the many many lunches we (the gals) had at Pfizer... sometimes laughing and carrying on so loud and so much that people would stare at us. We didnt care... we were loving each others company! When we shared an office space I can point directly at Ann to say she was responsible for my increased weight as I could never resist her cooking... she would bake at 1 a.m. to spoil her coworkers the next day. The Xmas tree skirt she made for me was long ago dubbed a family heirloom by my daughter. I was blessed to know her and will smile every time I think of her.
