Rebecca L. Sullivan

Rebecca "Becky" Sullivan passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 6, 2026, at Rose Arbor Hospice in Kalamazoo. She was born on December 5, 1961, in Livingston County, Illinois, to Max and Doris (Heiken) Reeser. Becky was married in 1995 to her husband Jim and put up with his antics for 30 years.

Becky took immense pride in her role as a mother, attending every event for her 3 daughters and celebrating their milestones with joy and enthusiasm. Becky found joy in family camping trips, sunny beach days, boat rides, and the satisfaction of completing puzzles. She loved a cheesy Hallmark movie and was an avid reader. She was a part of several book clubs through the years. While fighting cancer, she gave her full effort and attention to life. She had a long-time group of girlfriends that she would see often for dinners and girl’s trips. Becky worked in internal procurement for several IT companies over the years.

Becky is survived by her loving husband of 30 years, Jim, and her three daughters: Dorie (Nick Weirick) Sullivan of Grand Rapids, Jamilyn (Joe) Valdez of Grand Rapids, and Abigail Sullivan of Otsego. In addition, she leaves behind brother-in-law Scott Gregory along with many nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her caring parents, her sisters Kimberly Gregory and an infant sister, Jennifer.

Friends may visit with Becky’s family starting at 10am on Thursday January 15, 2026, at St. Margaret Catholic Church in Otsego, until the time of the memorial service at 11am, with Rev. Fr. Jack Pfeiffer officiating. 

Burial of ashes will take place at St. Margaret Cemetery at a later time.

Contributions in memory of Becky may be directed to St. Vincent de Paul Ministry.
