On July 4, 2019, Patty Sherrill Sullivan moved into her permanent home that our Heavenly Father had prepared for her. She lived an incredibly gifted earthly life that began on February 25, 1927, when she was born in San Marcos to Malcolm and Julia Storey Sherrill. From that day forward she was constantly surrounded by loving family and friends.
Patty grew up in San Marcos, graduated from San Marcos High School and attended Texas Women’s University in Denton and Southwest Texas State Teachers College. She married her brother’s best friend, J.C. (Jake) Sullivan on October 19, 1946, and they enjoyed 63 years of marriage until his death in 2009. They had one son, Joseph C. (Clay) Sullivan, who still resides in San Marcos.
As a young woman, Patty was an administrative assistant to the Director of the Hays County Veterans Vocational School, where she helped many young men further their education after World War II. She later worked for the San Marcos School District in several positions, and then in the savings and loan business, again in several positions. She eventually became the Vice President and office manager of First Federal Savings and Loan San Marcos. In retirement, she served as a board member of Balcones Bank.
