Born on June 19 1953, in Boston Massachusetts, Amy was the beloved daughter of William and Jacqueline Sullivan. She grew up in Boston and later moved to Franklin where she lived the majority of her life and where she raised her children with her beloved husband John.
Amy devoted over 30 years of her career to caring for the disabled residents of the Wrentham Developmental Center, a role she took immense pride in. Her work was more than a job — it was a calling. She gave her time, her patience, and her heart to those in her care, leaving a lasting impact on countless families and colleagues.
She found joy in life’s simple and meaningful moments: gathering together with family and friends, listening to Rod Stewart, and celebrating the everyday moments that made life special. No one was better at turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, all because of her innate happiness, wit, and kindness.
Amy was known for her kind and loving heart and for being a friend to all. Her warmth, compassion, and steady presence made others feel safe and cared for. She brought so much joy to everything she did and had a special way of using humor to make heavy moments feel lighter for everyone around her.
She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Leeanna Brown and Bridget Schmitt; her grandsons, Christopher Brown and Daniel Brown, and her soon-to-be granddaughter Bella Grace Schmitt; her sister, Linda Orlando, and her brother, Teddy Sullivan. She is also survived by her step-children, step-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
Amy was predeceased by her parents, William and Jacqueline Sullivan; her brother, Billy Sullivan; and her loving husband, John Stahl.
While Amy is missed greatly by her loved ones they find peace and comfort in the fact that she is in Heaven and reunited with her husband once again. She will be remembered by all for the love, joy, and laughter she brought to their lives.
