ANNA MARIE SULLIVAN (nee Campbell), beloved wife , mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and dear friend, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Monday, October 3, 2016 at the age of 80 years.
Anna Marie was predeceased by her husband of 40 years Eugene Sullivan, and is lovingly remembered by her children and grandchildren: Agnes (Kirk) (Khason, Carter, Ethan) Livingston and Jacinta (Ian) (Aidan, Gabriel, Blake) Miller of Lethbridge; Mary Sullivan of Sherwood Park; Desmond (Karen) (Conor, Madeleine, Siobhan) Sullivan of Calgary. Anna Marie is also survived by her siblings Ernest (Virginia) Campbell and Charles (Eva) Campbell of Ontario and Helena (Norman) Arsenault of P.E.I. She was predeceased by her sister Agnes Myrtle Campbell, brother Francis Campbell and parents, James and Hannah (Duffy) Campbell.
Anna Marie was born July 8th, 1936 in Westmoreland, Prince Edward Island. She spent her early years growing up on the family farm, attended Prince of Wales College and later obtained her teaching certificate. After teaching in P.E.I. from 1956-1960, the desire to pursue her teaching career pushed her west to Alberta where she began working in a rural school in Cluny, Alberta. It was at this time Anna Marie met her future husband Eugene, also from Prince Edward Island.
Eugene and Anna Marie married on December 30, 1961 in Carstairs, Alberta. They relocated to Calgary shortly thereafter to start their family and their construction companies, Eugene Sullivan Building Ltd. and Starlight Enterprises. Working as a team, Anna Marie and Eugene continued their life path with moves to Lethbridge and then Phoenix, Arizona. The lure of family and friends brought them back to Lethbridge in 1981, where they resided for the remainder of their married life.
Anna Marie's strong faith, compassion and selflessness touched many lives. She was a sincere advocate of community, charity and volunteerism, engaging both time and resources in the Terry Fox Run, Al-Anon, Meals on Wheels, the Catholic Women's League, the John Howard Society and Cancer Centers for many years. We will truly miss the loving influence she had in all of our lives.

Goodbye Aunt Anna Marie, The Prince Edward Island tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand. The Alberta sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.

I was so saddened today when I learned of Anna Marie's passing. In my 13 years as Provincial Director of The Terry Fox Foundation, I was privileged to be able to have a least an annual phone call from Anna Marie, or more if she had a tax receipting issue. :) I can't tell you, or more likely it wouldn't surprise you, how much I much I enjoyed her calls. It felt like I was talking to a friend, not just an amazing Terry Fox supporter. She embodied a strength, spirit and commitment that reflects the same values as the Fox family and the Foundation. It was truly an honour to know her and we are so grateful that her final wonderful show of support was to direct donations to us in her memory. We will miss her greatly.
Thinking of all of you at this time. Your mother was an amazing lady with a beautiful heart. She will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you
Agnes, Jacinta, Mary and Desmond and families we have wonderful memories of your mom. Her summer visits to PEI and ours always meant the opportunity to get together and catch up. Please know that you are in our thoughts prayers. We will miss Anna Marie a great deal.
