Anjete Sullivan

Anjete Cherease Sullivan of Dover departed this life at Delaware Hospice Center in Milford, DE, on May 4, 2015. She was the daughter of John and Jacqueline Sullivan of Dover, DE. Anjete was born August 6, 1962 in Dover, DE. She was 52. She attended the Capital School District, where she was a member of the track and basketball teams. Anjete worked at Sun Rock Company, Playtex of Dover, DE and most recently Grayling Industries in Seaford, DE. She was not your “typical” employee/co-worker. She was a confidant, sister and mother to those she worked with. She always brought in a “Ray of Sunshine” with her vibrant smile and out-going personality, she was truly a “people’s person”. Growing up, Anjete was known as “Angie” to most. She loved spending quality time with family and friends. She had a passion for shopping, decorating, planning special events, and maintaining her “Diva” status by having her hair styled weekly. Anjete was 52 years of age, and she “wore” it well. She loved the Lord, she was filled with the “Holy Ghost” and was truly a Woman of God. She was known as a “Praiser”; she would invite everyone to church with her and would tell them about the goodness of the Lord. She began her walk with the Lord under the leadership of Rev. Andrew Tilghman. She later joined St. Johns Holiness Church, under the leadership of Apostle John Cornish, Cambridge MD. Her final church home was Immanuel House Of Praise, under the leadership of Pastor Carlton E. Bowers Jr., Seaford, DE. At Immanuel House Of Praise, she served faithfully as the President of the Usher Board, a choir member and Pastor Aide secretary. One of her most treasured accomplishments was to receive the Precious Jewels 2014 “Overcomer” award. Anjete was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, John and Helen Sullivan, maternal grandparents, Elsie and Herman Gillis and four aunts and uncles. She leaves to cherish her fond memories; her loving parents, John and Jacqueline Sullivan, Dover, DE; her children, Keenan and Roshaun Sullivan of Dover, DE, Tylisha Sullivan of Princess Anne, MD., David Yarborough of Dover, DE and Gary Sullivan of Philadelphia, PA, one brother Charles, four sisters, Anjete’s twin sister Angela, Kim, Sharon and Karen Sullivan all of Dover, DE and 12 grandchildren.
