Toni M. Sullivan, age 66, of Pleasant Prairie, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 at Froedtert South Kenosha Campus.

Toni was born in Kenosha on March 27, 1954, a daughter of the late Leonard and Crysenthia (nee: Stallman) Monroe.  Toni attended St. Anthony Catholic Elementary School and was a graduate of St. Joseph High School.  It was in high school that she met the love of her life, Gary Sullivan.  They were united in marriage on June 8, 1974 at St. Anthony Catholic Church.

She was employed for many years in the office of Dr. Ernesto Buencamino.  She later was employed with the Joseph Andrea Cancer Center, where she remained for seventeen years.

An avid golfer, Toni and Gary spent many days on the course.  Toni enjoyed working in her yard and garden, and decorating her home for all the different seasons.  She adored her grandchildren and loved being a grandma. Although fun-loving and energetic, Toni equally loved sitting on the back patio with Gary or being cuddled up by the fire in her jammies.  Toni’s kind, generous, and vibrant spirit was evident throughout her relationships with her family and many friends.  She had a contagious smile and brought joy to those around her.  She was a woman that always put her family first, loving unconditionally.  Beautiful, both inside and out, her spirit, style, and grace will be missed dearly.

She will be deeply missed by her husband, Gary: her two daughters, Jennifer (Kendal) Kreibich and Melissa (Ryan) Laughlin; her four grandchildren, Abbey and Hunter Kreibich and Connor and Molly Laughlin; her siblings, Dennis Monroe, Janet (Philip) Scribner, Jacquelyn “Jackie” Belsky, and Bradley “Brad” (Judi) Monroe.  Toni is further survived by her mother-in-law, Charmaine Sullivan; her sister-in-law, Katherine “Kathy” Kovacs, and many loving nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents, Toni was preceded in death by her father-in-law, Thomas Sullivan.

A private Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Mary Catholic Church.  A public gathering to celebrate Toni’s life will take place in the summer of 2021 at a time when it is safe for everyone to gather.  In lieu of flowers, those desiring are encouraged to offer a memorial remembrance in Toni’s name to the COVID-19 Action Initiative (American Lung Association) ,55 W.

The Sullivan family would like to extend their gratitude to the nursing staff in the Critical Care Unit of Froedtert South along with Dr. Alfred Habel and the Pulmonary Team.
