Mary Julianne Sullivan Warren
July 11, 1949 — March 2, 2024
Charlotte
Mary Julianne Sullivan Warren, 74, of Charlotte, passed away peacefully at home with family by her side on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
Mary was born July 11, 1949, in Nash County, NC, to the late Wayman Jack Sullivan and the late Juanita Beatrice Greene Sullivan. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Martha Jane Sullivan; daughter, Lori Warren Turner; and nephew, Bryan Freeman
Mary was known as a helper, giver, safe spot, carer, accountability partner, prayer warrior, strong woman, and fighter. She will also be remembered as beautiful, smart and funny. She loved easily and allowed people to feel like she was their "home" (their safe place). She would often open her heart and home to strangers. Mary always spoke her mind and didn't judge, but if you needed an attitude adjustment, she let you know right quick. She loved to educate, using her nursing skills. You couldn't stop Mary's humor. She could make anyone belly-laugh. Her quick wit and wonderful sense of humor made her easy to be around. She was up for anything, from driving a 15 passenger van full of "crazies" to Myrtle Beach, to riding a $0.25 cent horse like it was a bucking bronco...and getting stuck on said horse! We have hundred more stories and precious memories. Most of all, Mary fiercely loved Jesus, her family and her animals. She was a loving wife, mom, sister, and Nana (the Great). Our dear Mary will be greatly missed and forever loved. Save us a spot beside you in Heaven.
Survivors include her beloved husband of 43 years, Roy Warren of the home; daughter, Michelle (Jeff) Price of Harrisburg; son, Trae (Angela) Whitworth of SC; brother, Henry "Jack" (Martha) Sullivan of NC; 7 grandchildren, Abbie, Monica, Nic, Rebeka, Sabrina, Zac, and Jack; 6 great-grandchildren, Aiden, Eli, Christian, Jackson, Grayson, and Oliver; nieces, Kitty, Lori, and Ellen; and nephews, Kevin and Jason.
