Jennifer Lynn Sullivan Blankenship, age 44, was called home on Monday, September 13, 2021 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Jennifer was a loving mother who took pride in her children and their accomplishments. She always supported them and their dreams whether that included riding passenger with her son in a racecar or showing off crocheted shawls and blankets her daughter made. She was overjoyed to be present at the birth of her first grandchild.
Her other love and passion was preaching and helping others. She was so thrilled to be able to attend Rhema Bible college to further her knowledge and love for God. She met many people and touched many lives on that journey. All that knew her described her as caring, loving, and with a warm heart.
Jennifer was born to Jack Sullivan Sr. and Scarlette Sullivan on September 21, 1976 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Jennifer is preceded in death by her mother, Scarlette Sullivan.
She is survived by: daughter, Christian Monique Martin (Ryan Alexander Martin); son, Daniel Malachi Blankenship; father, Jack Sullivan, Sr.; brothers: Jack Sullivan, Jr., Michael Earl Sullivan; sister: Rachael Janette Pyle; grandchild, Maya Grace Martin; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and others she considered family.
Pallbearers will be Daniel Blankenship, Ryan Martin, Marcus Smith, Keith Blankenship, Zachary Wallace, and Jack Sullivan.
