Elizabeth was predeceased by her siblings, Cornelius S. Sullivan, John F. Sullivan, Michael J. Sullivan, Catherine S. Hastings, Mary W. Wood, and Helen T. Pedone and son in law, Philip Davis.

Born and raised in Worcester, she was the daughter of the late Michael J. and Catherine J. (O’Donoghue) Sullivan. Elizabeth graduated from St. Peter’s High School in 1936. In 1942, Elizabeth married the love of her life, Daniel and started their life in Oxford when Daniel returned from WWII. In 1958, they moved their house and family to Auburn where they built their life.

Elizabeth was a member of Saint Joseph’s Church and its former women’s league. A very active person in government alongside Daniel, Elizabeth volunteered for many years for the Democratic Town Committee and in later years, found much enjoyment volunteering at the Auburn Senior Center.

Elizabeth had many great times with Daniel, playing cards, bowling and traveling. They were always on the road somewhere having a great time together, whether it was Florida, the Carolinas, the Cape or for just for a ride. She missed Daniel greatly when he passed. She continued their tradition of travel going to Disney, the Cape, visiting family near and far, and on many different adventures including shopping with her family.
