At the age of 15, the family moved to “The Bronx” New York City where she continued her education, learned English, and graduated from High School receiving her diploma.

Margie is survived by Husband, Harry Michael Sullivan, of Ocala, Florida.

And her sisters, Miriam De Luca, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Gladys Sullivan, of Miami Shores, Florida.
Margie and Harry celebrated 68 happy years of marriage. Margie and Harry did everything for their family. Margie was the glue that kept everything together. Her smile lit up the room. And she was a force to be reckon with. She whipped up a great meal in 30 minutes and everyone always felt welcomed. When she slapped her finger we all jumped and enjoyed it. Her passion was traveling, shopping, and spending money – in that order! Her suffering and pain is over. She is with the Lord in peace! We miss her and know we will be reunited in heaven one day.
Margie’s ashes will be interned at the National Cemetery of Bushnell, Florida.
