Ella Catherine( nee Campion) Sullivan, 79, of Plains Township, passed peacefully on Sunday, December 3, 2017, at her private residence while in the care of her daughter Ellen.

              Born in East Orange, New Jersey, on July 24, 1938, she was the daughter of John and Madeline (Jandoli) Campion.  Ella grew up in East Orange and graduated from the East Orange High School, class of 1957.

Together they moved to Brooklyn, New York and later to Carteret, New Jersey where they raised their daughter Ellen. In July of 1967, Daniel lost his life in an automobile accident that almost claimed the lives of the entire family.
