Obituary of Marvene Sullivan
Marvene O'Neal Sullivan was born in Norfolk, Virginia, to Alice Stevens and John Clarence Johnson. Her younger years were spent with her grandparents. In her teenage years, she moved to Brooklyn, NY, to be with her brothers and sisters in the 60s. She graduated from Prospect Heights High School, formerly known as Girls High, to go on to graduate with an Associate's Degree in Administrative Science from Medgar Evens College. She then goes on to become a single mother of three who raised her children through the trials and tribulations of the 70s and 80s. For the next 25 years, she went to work at the Department of Labor under the attorney General of New York and retired in the early 2000s. Once she was retired, she went help raise her to granddaughters. In the last five years of her life, she had ups and downs with her health that started during the covid 19 crisis. She went through a lot the last two years. She had always persevered. She was finally ready to go on home and see the loved ones she's missed. She will be forever missed.
