Sara Sullivan

Sara Sullivan, born on April 3, 1943, in Spartanburg, SC left this world on October 22, 2024, at the Spartanburg Regional Hospice Home. A beacon of love and devotion, Sara's life journey was a testament to her unwavering spirit and generous heart.

Sara devoted many years of her life to her career at Mettler Toledo, where her contributions were felt and respected. However, it was not just her professional life that defined her; it was her devotion to family that brought her true joy. She was a loving and caring mother to her daughter, Sharon Sullivan, who was the pride and joy of her life. Always strong and nurturing, Sara ensured that her family was surrounded by warmth and comfort.

Sara found profound happiness in the bonds she shared with her sisters, Catherine Upton and Norma Phillips. These relationships brought her laughter and companionship, grounding her through life's many adventures. She also took immense pride in her two beloved dogs, Murphy and Daisy, who filled her days with love and laughter, embodying her gentle spirit and passion for life. She was an avid fan of shopping, which she loved to indulge in frequently.

One of her proudest accomplishments was the beautiful love story she lived with her husband, Louis R. Sullivan, whom she cherished for 63 wonderful years. Their marriage was a testament to partnership, friendship, and unconditional love, and their bond was an inspiration to all who knew them. The joy they shared together will forever remain a cherished memory in the hearts of those who witnessed their love.

Sara's education in the public schools of Spartanburg County laid the foundation for a life filled with curiosity and connection. She remained true to her roots, never straying far from her normal activities, consistently seeking the simple pleasures of life, wrapped in the warmth of her home and family.

As we gather to celebrate Sara’s life, we remember her as a loving daughter to Charles Franklin and Birdie Ketter, a caring sister to J.C. Keeter and his siblings Doris Thomas and Helen Arrowood whom all preceded her into eternity, and a devoted friend to all whose lives she touched. Her spirit will forever resonate in the hearts of those she loved.
