Virginia Louise Sullivan

Virginia Louise (Floyd) Sullivan, 80, was born in Newton, Massachusetts on March 23, 1945 to Malcolm and Barbara (Perry) Floyd. She was the oldest of four children. They all grew up in a beautiful home in Auburndale, and four generations have lived in that house over the years.

Ginny attended Colby Sawyer College, and after graduating, worked at Marriott where she met the love of her life, James “Jim” Sullivan. On their second date, Jim said he knew he was going to marry her; that is how enrapturing Ginny was! They married 55 years ago on July 18, 1970, and lived in West Groton, Massachusetts for the majority of their lives. She was a wonderful stay-at-home mom to three daughters. She was very involved in her children’s lives and shared her love for gardening, the outdoors, and animals. Her greatest joy in life, though, was her grandchildren; each one was truly blessed by having her pour into their lives as their Nana.

Her faith was of the utmost importance to her, and she was deeply involved in her church, Leominster Assembly of God. She taught Sunday school, led Bible studies, sang in the choir, and also mentored many people. Her hobbies included music, singing, and art; she was a creative soul.

In retirement, she and Jim moved to Mesa, Arizona to be near their youngest daughter and continued to pour into family.

Throughout her life, Ginny brought light, warmth, and joy into any room. She made people feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. She was always looking for small ways to bless others, and anyone who knew her experienced the sweetness she exuded.

Ginny is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Jim, and 3 daughters: Stacey (Joth) Riggs of Westlake Village, CA, Eileen Sullivan of Groton, MA, and Julie (Jeremy) Barrette of Mesa, AZ; 8 grandchildren: Kaleigh (Brandon) Chamberlain, Nicholas Smith, Liam Smith, Braelyn Riggs, Jerica Riggs, Lydia Barrette, Ella Barrette, Joel Barrette; and 2 great-grandchildren, Louella Chamberlain and Rhema Chamberlain. Ginny is also survived by her loving, sweet sister, Marjorie Arcand of Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Ginny is predeceased by her loving parents, Malcolm and Barbara, and her brothers, Charles “Chuckie” and John, as well as many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members. We believe she is in the arms of her Savior.
