Jeanne and Janet can always recall how Noreen would go to any length to keep them safe and happy. They cherished just how close they had been with their mother. Michael and Jakob can recall all of the great times they shared with Noreen as they grew up. Watching over them as they grew into adults she was truly proud of just like her own children.
Noreen is survived by her children Janet and Jeanne, her grandchildren Michael and Jakob, and her sister Barbara.
Due to the current pandemic, Noreen's family will be celebrating her life in the near future with a memorial service to honor her wonderful life. The Sullivan family thanks you for your all of your love and support at this very difficult time and will post funeral details in the coming weeks.
