Agnes Sullivan

Agnes Joann Sullivan, 84, of Lonoke, AR, passed away Friday, November 1, 2019 in Waldron, AR. She was born July 13, 1935, in Huntingdon, TN, to George William James and Mollie Agnes King.

Joann loved her family and was dearly devoted to them. She worked hard to help George in supporting their family and made many personal sacrifices for her children to see that they had the best that she could provide for them.
