Suzanne Hazel Hoskins Sullivan, 82

Suzanne Hazel Hoskins Sullivan, 82, departed this life on March 21, 2019, in Kalispell.

She lived an amazingly accomplished life, being one of the first women to graduate from Northwestern University School of Business and among the first to be approved as an Episcopal priest. For her Master of Divinity degree, she attended the Church Divinity Schools of the Pacific in Berkeley, California.

As she and her family moved about the country, she founded social outreach ministries from San Francisco to Annapolis, Maryland. In 1985 she was recognized by President Ronald Reagan as one of 10 Volunteers of the Year and received a citation of commendation from the Mann County, California, Board of Supervisors. In 2009, she co-founded the North Fork Worship, a non-denominational Christian church which continues during the summer. Author and teacher in inner-city schools, her life was one of service to others.

She and her husband have owned a homestead in the North Fork for 38 years and have resided in Kalispell since 2014.

Suzanne is survived by her husband Donald Sullivan, daughters Heather Sullivan and Deborah Faw, and son Patrick Sullivan.
