Arlene Sullivan

Mrs. Arlene Sanders Sullivan affectionately called “Honey” was born on February 28, 1935 in Florence County, to the late John and Lois Jones Sanders. On Saturday, October 15, 2022 she was called home to be with the Lord.

Arlene was educated in the Florence County Public School System.

At the age of 12, Arlene was converted, baptized, and became a member of Saint Peter Believers Holiness Church in Florence, South Carolina. She loved God and loved His word. She was known to speak her mind especially if she felt that something didn’t line up with God’s word.

Arlene’s culinary skills were utilized at Smoke Shop, where she worked for 20 years.

Arlene was a great cook! Family and friends were delighted to partake of the wonderful treats that came from her kitchen, especially those light and fluffy homemade biscuits.
