SHARPS—Mrs. Joyce Woolard Sullivan, 80, of Sharps peacefully left her earthly life on Saturday, March 16, 2019. She was born on August 31, 1938 in Emmerton.

She married her lifetime sweetheart, Franklin Mitchell Sullivan, in 1957. They were married for 62 years.

She was retired from the Virginia Employment Commission, where she worked as an auditor.

For over 20 years Mrs. Sullivan volunteered with the Rappahannock General Hospital Auxiliary where she served for two years as president.

Joyce loved to cook and was an avid baker. She was a Christian woman who loved her friends, family and her church.
