Stephany Martin-Sullivan

Stephany Martin-Sullivan surprised us all by arriving early in Dallas Tx to Sharon Burnett & Bobby Martin Jr. on May 6, 1992. 32 years later, on November 5, 2024 we lost a loving mother, cherished daughter, loyal sister, quirky cousin, sweet niece and an amazing friend. At the age of 1 she was blessed with the best Dad a girl could dream of, Chris House. Stephany is preceded in death by her grandparents: Patsy and Bobby Martin, Sr.; Patricia & Al Johnson; Ted & Claryce House; Walter Donnie Burnett; Aunt Rhonda Burnett & Uncle Ralph Graham. Stephany was a light to our family and she loved being a mom. She adored her 3 boys, and she loved her nieces & nephews as if they were her own children. Stephany as a mom and “Aunt Nanny” was always down to do the fun stuff, from lego land to video games, their interests became her interest. She was creative, always putting together puzzles and creating artistic masterpieces. She loved attending her kids activities, playing Pokemon Go with them & dressing up as Pikachu to celebrate their shared love of Pokémon. When she and any of her "kids" got together, an impromtu concert was always sure to happen with Stephany belting out the chorus (even if she couldn't carry a tune!) until her sister begged for mercy and for Stephany to stop. Her personality was unique and original. She was known for being stubborn , as she stuck to the values and ideals that she held dear. Her happiness was like dynamite and she could single handedly get a room ignited with fun and laughter. If you met Stephany, you more than likely have a hilarious memory with her. She had a great sense of 'gallows humor.’ A dark sense of humor , quick wit and probably a few curse words were needed when you hung out with her. But her ability to see the bright in a sometimes dark story was a hallmark of her personality. Along with her devotion to her children, Stephany was a mini me of her mom, Sharon, and between them was an unbreakable bond that will always hold them together. Stephany was a poet, and a true artist in every sense of the word. She felt like she could truly communicate the best through words. Loving people and sharing in their stories helped Stephany to be a friend to all. These qualities were an ever present part of her being the best bartender at Nick's Sports Bar in Rowlett, making many instant connections with the customers and her coworkers. Stephany, an embodiment of love and laughter, will be forever missed. Left to treasure Stephany’s memory and share her stories are her children: Jaxson Sullivan, Finn Sullivan, and Kayde Sullivan; parents, Chris and Sharon House; Father, Bobby Martin Jr.; Sisters, Amanda, Felicia, Kendahl, & Leta & Brother, Dustin; Aunts: Kele, Debbie, Lori, Tracie, and Melanie, uncles: Mike (Pat), Jeff (Kathy), Greg (Kim), Cousins, Hannah & Patrick, nieces and nephews: Kynleigh, Atticus, Everly, Kaelyn, Avery; Parents in love Kim & Wiley Sullivan & huge family and many beloved friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at 4:00 p.m. on November 16, 2024 at the Max Slayton Funeral Chapel in Terrell, Texas.
