Virginia (Jenny) L. Sullivan, 89 of Indianapolis, passed peacefully on May 3, 2018. She was born on March 17, 1929 in Clinton Missouri to her late mother, Viola M. Stickland.

Virginia spent a life with her late husband of 57 years, John L. Sullivan Jr., who preceded her in passing; along with their son, Mark D. Sullivan. Together, they enjoyed their retirement by volunteering at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and service at the American Legion Post 500, where John once served as Commander.
