Joyce Ann
Sullivan
September 9, 1936 – March 19, 2020
Joyce Ann Lamb Sullivan, 83, of Delphi, went to be in a better place on March 19, 2020 at the age of 83. She was born on September 9, 1936 to Duane & Mary Lamb in Delphi. Joyce graduated from Delphi High School in 1954 where she was a cheerleader and eventual lifelong friend to so many. On July 10, 1955 she wed her high school sweetheart Robert L. Sullivan who preceded her in death in 2000, after 45 years of marriage. They went on to have four loving children that she took great pride in and loved and nurtured her whole life. Joyce was a member of the Delphi United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir and continued to build her friendships over the years. She was a long-time member of the Psi Iota Xi Sorority, and helped with countless church and charity events. She enjoyed needlepoint, cross stitching, and watching the Colts, along with local and college sports. But what she really excelled at the most was being a great mother, wife, grandmother, and homemaker for so many years. She truly passed on her great ability to love. She was preceded in death by her parents and an older brother Billy. She is survivied by one sister Rebecca Schrader; 4 children-Scot Sullivan (Julie), Jon Sullivan (Susie Budreau), Keltie Domina (Joe), and David Sullivan (Leah); 11 grandchildren-Andrea, Stephanie, Natalie, Lisa, Lindsey, Kristine, Benjamin, Joseph, Emily, Victoria, & Zachary; 12 great grandchildren, 4 nieces and nephews. Over the past several years of her life she was fortunate enough to have the love, adoration, and devotion of Donald Kelly, to whom we will always be grateful. Services will be held privately due to the ongoing worldwide Corona virus situation. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Alzheimer's Association ( www.alz.org ) to help end this tragic disease.
