Victoria Carroll Sullivan
November 2, 1956 ~ April 1, 2020
Victoria Carroll Sullivan of Reston, VA, and formerly Warrenton, VA, departed this life on April 1, 2020. Victoria was born on November 2, 1956, in Kittery, ME, to Thomas and Patricia Carroll. Her Father, a naval officer, travelled the world, often with his family. These early experiences drove Victoria to love international travel and possess a true “joie de vivre.”
She was a United Airlines flight attendant for more than 40 years and still loved to take her next flight to a distant location, often accompanied by her husband as her “flying guest.”
Victoria graduated from Radford University in 1978 and from James Madison High School in Vienna, VA, in 1974.
Victoria is survived by her beloved husband of 23 years, Arthur Sullivan, and her son, CPL Thomas Sullivan, USMC, and his wife, Brenna. She is also survived by her two sisters, Patricia Robinson and Mariana Klemm. She will be forever missed by her Mother in Law, Jean Sullivan, and her stepsons, Christopher Sullivan and Justin Sullivan, and step-daughter, Lauren Oakes, as well as by their respective families.
Her extended family will forever miss her constant kindness, generosity, and unconditional love.
She was preceded in death by her Mother and Father, and her Step-Mother, Jean Carroll, as well as her niece, Tara Robinson.
A celebration of her spectacular life will be held at the Dulles Marriott on August 22, 2020 from 3 to 5pm.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of my best friend from high school, and one of life’s closest friends since. I can’t even wrap my head around this. I loved Vic with all of my heart and was so excited for the next time we could get together. ?. I’m speechless and heartbroken. Prayers for her family and friends. Special prayers to Art, Tommy and Marianna. My deepest sympathies. I can’t believe this. I so wish I could talk to you again Vic❤️❤️??. Until we meet again, all my love and so many wonderful memories.
I remember Victoria and Tommy from Warrenton, Va. We met when our children were going to speech class. We would run into each other occasionally and we would chat about life. She was such and kind and caring person and will be missed here on earth. God bless you. Wanda S.

Dear, dear Victoria, I truly cannot believe you have passed….You and your family, Art, & Tommy were our next door neighbor’s for many years in Warrenton. You were the best cook and hostess, ever and always had a wonderful laugh and beautiful smile…..Our Shelties played in the yard, Murphy & Dakota and we watched Tommy grow from a little boy to a young handsome man. You truly will be forever in my thoughts and heart. May your soul rest in peace, Victoria………Love, your friend Linda
Our hearts are breaking for you and your family. I hope Art will take comfort in the knowledge of how happy he has made her for the past 23 years. May Tommy dwell upon the wonderful memories of her remarkable and unconditional love. She was SO proud of him! To the rest of the Sullivans, know you are in our hearts and prayers as you try to heal from this terrible loss!
Back in high school my day started by seeing Vickie each morning in Home Room. I always looked forward to seeing her smile. It was so good to see her at the last reunion and I had so looked forward to seeing her again. She was such a dear sweet person. Sorry to hear that she passed away, but she will not be forgotten.

Through marriage we became sisters. Through love and caring we became friends. Love you and miss you so very much Vic! Your death leaves a heart ache no one can heal. Your love leaves a memory no one can steal.
I was so sorry to hear of Vic’s passing. I always enjoyed flying with her. She was so kind and sweet and always smiling. A beautiful lady inside and out. My heartfelt condolences and prayers to her family and loved ones. Libby Timchak
Victoria was a bright addition to our lives in WArrenton as a vibrant young mother in our neighborhood! She will be missed by all those who knew her!
Art and Tommy, I am so sorry to hear of Victoria’s passing. A beautiful soul always willing to help anyone. I loved spending time with her when Tommy and Andrew played football together and were in cub scouts together. I know she was an amazing mother, as Tommy was the center of her universe! She was an amazing wife to Art. Art, she always talked about you guys as if you were newlyweds and excited to see each other after her flying trips or your trips abroad. And the manner in which she cared for your Mom Art. She was a shining example of the best possible daughter-in-law that anyone could ask for. I often asked her advice. A beautiful lady all the way around. She will be missed forever.
I’m at a loss for words. So here goes….Happy hour with her mom and dad eati g sugar bread steamed rolls, cabbage leaves rolled with rice, pool morning g Noon and night, sitting under the widow tree, sitting by mailbox sweating waiting on friends. Tag football, luminaries, family block parties, sliding down the retention drain! , Just great times with good me.ories. prayers of strength and love to her sisters and family. I adored the e tire family. Love Suzanne Cox Platt
I met Vic many years ago after we both started flying for our careers. She was such fun and always, I mean always, kind and generous. Flying together, haircuts at her townhouse in Manassas, a memorable scuba diving trip to Cozumel! And then she met you Art and you rocked her world! You swept her off of her feet and she never looked back! You and Tommy, then Brenna were the light and loves of her life! Add in your wonderful family who loved her from the get go, how could they not? Your love and care for her made her the happiest she had ever been. The last time she and I worked together, you came along. The other crew members were remarking about how lovely you are Art. Victoria, beamed and said” he is the nicest kindest person I have ever met”! And that comes from the nicest kindest person I have ever met. she adored you all and was in turn adored. What a wonderful life. My heart goes out to you all in you sadness and grief. Please know you are not alone in your sorrow. Love, Kim
