Alice O'Sullivan Obituary

Alice is the eighth of the eight surviving of the ten children of Margaret and Brendan O’Sullivan, otherwise known as “Al”. She was born in Westlake, Ohio on  20 September 1972.  Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Columbus, Ohio for two years until the younger five moved to our Nova, Ohio farm fulltime with Mom at the helm. Dad stayed to work in Columbus during the week and came to the farm on weekends.  The older 3 finished their schooling in Columbus.   

Alice was the only kid raised mostly on the farm, but her heart was in the city.   She flew the coop after high school and went on to graduate with a B.S.B.A in finance from Xavier University. She also attended some classes at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.

She liked technology and was very fluent with computers and her laptop. She loved being able to earn a living using those skills. It afforded her the opportunity to live in Columbus, OH, Houston, TX, Las Vegas , NV, and ultimately with her sister, Diane, in Naples, FL.  Alice loved Diane.

Her over 20 year career  in the education software sales and the consulting business was varied.  She was never bored, and had the titles to prove it:

Account Manager, Education Technology for 

VERACADEMY

Regional Sales Manager for 

HERO K12, LLC

Education Sales Consultant for

VERACADEMY

Regional Account Executive for

N2Y

National Account Manager for

FLASHPOINTLABS

Wherever she landed, she was very helpful and agreeable, accommodating to others if she could, like watching friends pets when they were away.  Socially, she could talk to anyone and sometimes evidence of her fast wit would shine through.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents Jerome and Mary Ellen O’Sullivan, William A. and Mary Ellen Watson; parents Brendan J. and Margaret L. O’Sullivan; brother Barry J. O’Sullivan; niece Neta M. Kadey;  uncles Bernard Watson, Joseph Watson, David O’Sullivan, Jerome O’Sullivan, Christopher Gaskin, John Reardon; aunts Sr. Marie Gilbert, Ann Watson, Patricia Reardon, Eileen O’Sullivan, Oonagh O’Sullivan, Phyllis O’Sullivan, Babs O’Sullivan, Madeline Gaskin, Finola O’Sullivan; and anyone who has been forgotten.
