Patricia G. Sullivan, baptized in Jesus and fortified with the Sacraments, entered into rest Friday, April 24, 2026.
Beloved wife of the late John W. Sullivan; loving mother of Kathy (the late Bob) Sontag, Maureen (Dan) Borkowski, Michael (Sandy) Sullivan, Matt (Dady) Sullivan, Elaine (Tim) Valentine, and Laura (JoJo) Sullivan, dear Grandma Pattiecake and GG; dear aunt, cousin, and friend.
Pat was a proud resident of the City of St. Louis, member of Resurrection Parish for more than 80 years, and Rosati-Kain High School graduate. She loved the Cardinals, the Muny and her Dutchtown neighborhood. She enjoyed Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and her word puzzles, which she shared with her dear late sister, Helen.
Pat never met a stranger. She enjoyed talking to people and always managed to find some connection. She enjoyed working as an Avon lady and in the Sears credit department, as she met so many people.
When she finally left her family home on Alberta Street, after more than 80 years, she moved to Our Lady of Life, where she told everyone, “I feel like I’m on vacation every day!” In 2024, as her health was declining, she moved to Mary Queen and Mother, where she was thrilled to be able to play Bingo almost every day. The family is very grateful for the wonderful caregivers at Mary Queen and Mother and the Solace hospice staff.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to Rosati-Kain Academy https://rosati-kain.org/give-rka/ways-give or the Backstoppers https://backstoppers.org/donate/
Services: Visitation at Kutis Affton Chapel on Sunday, May 17 from 4 PM until 8 PM. Requiem Mass at Resurrection of Our Lord Catholic Church, 3900 Meramec St., on Monday, May 18 at 11 AM. Interment at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
My sympathy and love to Kathy Sontag, Maureen Borkowski, Mike Sullivan, Matt Sullivan, Elaine Valentine, Laura Sullivan and your families on the passing of your beloved mom and my dear cousin, Pat. We grew up in the same two family flat in St. Louis, so I have many fond memories. Pat was like a big sister to me, and I cherish her, as well as the entire family. I will miss her, but her friendliness, sense of humor and all her wonderful children will be in my thoughts always. Thank you, Pat!

Thank you so much, Doris. Grandma loved you and loved all the time you spent together- especially at the Muny. When we went together, she would always comment whenever she saw someone with the chocolate ice cream cone that it was your favorite and she loved to spend time with you!
