Jean G. Sullivan
1937 – 2025
Jean G. Sullivan, 87, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2025, at Encompass Health
Rehabilitation Hospital in Largo, Florida.
Jean was born on December 21, 1937, to Arthur and Pauline Chalifour in Providence, Rhode
Island.
After graduating from high school in Cranston, Rhode Island, Jean worked for AMICA Insurance
Company. During this time, she married Charles Sullivan, with whom she shared her life for 66
years. Jean was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, always modeling
kindness, strength, and resilience.
In 1967, Jean and Charles moved to Rouses Point, NY, with their three daughters. While living in
Rouses Point, Jean worked at Northeastern Clinton Central School and the Advocacy and
Resource Center. In 1994, Jean and Charles left Rouses Point and lived in various locations
before settling in Seminole, Florida, in 2019. They both loved the Florida lifestyle and their
condo.
Jean was a nurturer — not only caring for her husband, daughters, grandchildren, and family
pets, but also cultivating strong, long-lasting relationships with neighbors and friends. Jean,
Charlie, and their companions created many wonderful memories during their lives and travels.
Jean was predeceased by her parents and her husband, Charles.
She is survived by her brother, Robert Chalifour (Patricia); her children, Linda Sullivan, Lisa
Macnamara (Randy Graves), and Lori Southwick (Steve); her grandchildren, Erin Gorby (Chris),
Michael Harrigan (Lauren), Peter Macnamara, Sean Harrigan, Colleen Duniho, William
Macnamara, and Megan Macnamara; and her great-grandchildren, Mackinnon Gorby, Isobel
Gorby, Callum Harrigan, and Owen Harrigan, along with many nieces and nephews.
A private graveside service and Celebration of Life will be held at the convenience of the family.
