Mrs. Mildred "Millie" Evelyn Sullivan, age 85 of Franklin, TN formerly of Andover, MA passed away December 9, 2015. Originally from Revere, MA, Mrs. Sullivan worked for many years as an Executive Secretary for the John Hancock in Boston, MA. At the age of 39, she married the love of her life, John V. Sullivan and together they resided in North Reading and Andover, MA, Atkinson, NH and Sarasota, FL. Both were proud graduates of the Immaculate Conception School in Revere, MA (class of 1947) but did not fall in love until they worked together at the Hancock in the late 1960s.

Millie was a lover of history, politics, opera, and Boston sports teams, most especially the New England Patriots and Tom Brady. Having relocated to Franklin, TN in 2011 to be closer to their daughter's family, she was a member of St. Philip Catholic Church. Preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, John V.
