Frances was a beloved wife and cherished mother who was a skilled respiratory therapist, animal lover, and had an unwavering faith in God.
Frances Lynne Sullivan, 59 of Milford, passed away on May 11, 2025. Frances was born on November 3rd, 1965, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to the late Paul and Susan Macciocca. Frances was the beloved wife of Michael J. Sullivan for over 35 years.
Frances met the love of her life in 1988, and the two quickly fell deeply in love, marrying in a beautiful church ceremony in November of that same year. A dedicated respiratory therapist for over 20 years, most notably with Bridgeport Hospital, Frances cared deeply for her patients and took pride in offering them comfort and compassion.
A lifelong animal lover, Frances had pets of all kinds over the years and held a deep affection for all creatures, great and small. In her free time, she found joy in simple pleasures: walking along the beach with her husband and dogs, feeding the wild birds in her backyard, reading, and spending cherished moments with family, especially during large, lively gatherings.
