Jillian Patricia Sullivan
April 10, 1988 – December 30, 2024
Jillian Patricia Sullivan passed away unexpectedly in Tucson, Arizona, on December 30, 2024 at the age of 36. Born on April 10, 1988, at Hill Air Force Base in Layton, Utah, Jillian was the beloved fourth child of Kiki and Bart Sullivan. She grew up on Regal Manor Drive, surrounded by her older siblings—Matthew McCarthy, Katie McKee, and her sister and best friend, Brianne Vaughn. Her cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents were all close by. In June 2000, the family relocated to Flower Mound, Texas. Jillian attended Argyle High School before returning to Tucson to graduate from The Fenster School. We were all proud that she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas in June 2011. Jillian started with a job in real estate as a leasing agent, finding joy in connecting people with a living space. She had a deep love for animals, dedicating much of her time to fostering and caring for dogs. She loved Lyla, Emma, Olaf, and Molly, who held a special place in her heart. Jillian’s life was enriched by her love story with Chris, which began as friendship and blossomed into a beautiful partnership. Together, they welcomed their daughter, Kira, December 30, 2024. Jillian had the joy of holding and loving her precious baby before passing due to complications. She was deeply loved by her parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, extended family, and countless friends. Her beautiful spirit, kind heart, and devotion to her loved ones left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She will be profoundly missed but forever remembered. A celebration of Jillian’s life will be held in her honor, and her family invites those who knew her to share memories and stories as they bid farewell to Jill.
