Teresa (Terri) Gayle Sullivan, 10/3/1953-9/18/2023
Terri, age 69 passed away peacefully and on her own terms at The Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida with Tim and Dori by her side. Terri was preceded in death by her parents Gail and Barbara (Akridge) Brookshier, her two brothers Steve and Brad, stepfather Daryl Hensley and former husband, Edward Sullivan.
Terri had recently moved to Neptune Beach, Florida, where she was looking forward to sharing her beach house with her life partner, Tim, and of course, friends and family; all were to be welcomed. Terri’s friendships spread far and wide and she always took the time to stay connected and continued to foster relationship which were of the upmost importance to her. She taught elementary school, which was her passion, for over half of her life and continued to keep connections with so many of her fellow teachers, students and their families, all equally meaning so much to her. Yoga and meditation were a daily part Terri’s life, a practice that provided her with peace, strength and good breathing practices which ultimately helped extend her life.
Terri loved spending time with family; her niece NaNette (daughter of Steve), great niece Madison and great nephews Jacob and Beau, all who brought great joy to her life. Her greatest gift from Ed were his daughters, Linda (Gary) and JoAnn (Mark) and his son, Eddie (Tracy) who welcomed Terri into their family, along with the gift of grandchildren (Heather, Ryan, Jennifer and Christina), and her beloved great grandchild, Noah, all making life that much sweeter. The children of her cousin Dori (Randy) being Connor and Jonathan, called her “Aunt Terri” and shared life events and holidays with her. Cousins Cheryl, Karen, John and Cindy spent time together at 518 Oak St and Lake Fenton. She was truly blessed and was a gift to all her extended family members. Terri was a light in the world, her strong faith provided her such comfort and she looked forward to seeing the Lord and all her family in Heaven.
