Obituary Online notes for Sandra Jean SNOW
Sandra Snow Sullivan, age 76, passed away peacefully, on Friday, November 4, 2022. She was born October 13, 1946, in Brooksville, Florida to Addison Eugene "Gene" Snow and Doris Lewis Snow. She married her love, W. Paul Sullivan in November 1969, who preceded her in death in 2011.
Sandra was the director of the Methodist School Center of Brooksville for 39 years. She was integral in the nurture and education of hundreds of children in Hernando County throughout the years. She provided leadership and love through her guidance as Head of School and through her dynamic music ministry, training children in life wisdom and in the fundamentals of faith. She believed that teaching children about Jesus through song would be the foundation for them to deal with life's challenges for years to come.
Sandra was known to many as "Shuggie", coming from the beloved endearing term "Sugar Mama", for which she was named by her children's friends. Hers was the home that had a cake or pie on the counter or a CocaCola in the pantry and she was thrilled to lavish these on the children that came to her sweet and beautiful home. All know Sandra for her beauty, gracious hospitality, charm and artistic gifts. Sandra, believing music to be so integral in her faith journey, painted "Great is Thy Faithfulness" on the wall of her beautiful home…one of the ways she would share about the Lord's faithfulness to her.
Please join us as we celebrate her life, the morning of Monday, November 7th, at First United Methodist Church, Brooksville, with visitation at 9:00 and service at 10:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Methodist School Center and HPH Hospice, Spring Hill.

Obituary Online notes for William Paul (Spouse 1)
After enduring a long illness, W. Paul Sullivan Jr., went to be with the Lord on the evening of June 17, 2008.
Paul, 61, was born in Burlington, NC, and was raised in Vero Beach.
Paul was a graduate of St. Leo College, and then moved to Brooksville in 1968 and remained since that time. Paul was a history teacher and coach at Hernando High School and Brooksville Junior High School in the 1960s and 1970s, coaching football, golf and soccer.
He transitioned his career to the insurance industry and was appointed as the Deputy Insurance Commissioner for the State of Florida. Following this, he worked with the Hillsborough County Medical Association and was involved in the development of the healthcare industry in the surrounding areas. Paul had a love of history, particularly Florida history, and was instrumental in the creation of the Historical Advisory Commission in Hernando County, with the purpose of increasing the awareness of the importance of preserving local history. Paul was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Brooksville, serving at one point as Chairman of the Board and President of United Methodist Men. Among other things, he will be remembered for his lifelong efforts to enrich the lives of those around him through his teaching, coaching, mentoring and church activities.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. R. Moody Troxler of Burlington, NC, and his father, William P. Sullivan Sr. of Columbia, SC. He is survived by his wife, Sandra Snow Sullivan of Brooksville; his mother, Mildred Troxler Sullivan, and brother, R. Christopher Sullivan and family, of Collierville, TN; his children, Katie Sullivan MacGregor, with her husband, Revill MacGregor, of Rock Hill, SC, W. Addison Sullivan, with his wife, Erin Sullivan, of Brooksville, Sallie Sullivan Crumbaker, with her husband, Brian Crumbaker, of Tallahassee; and precious grandchildren, Revill Sanders MacGregor Jr., of Rock Hill, SC, and Lexie Kate Crumbaker, of Tallahassee; and precious chocolate labrador retriever, Trilby. "Daddy Paul" will be fondly remembered also by the children of the Mount Fair Gang, whom he helped to raise.
There will be a visitation at Turner Funeral Homes Brooksville Chapel, Friday from 6-8 pm, and a memorial service will be held on Saturday at 10 am at the First United Methodist Church of Brooksville. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the First United Methodist Church of Brooksville and Hernando Pasco Hospice.
