Mary Elizabeth (Sullivan) Grove, age 89, of Winter Park, Florida passed away peacefully in the residence of her son-in-love and daughter, John and Marian (Grove) Crawford, on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, after a brief time under Hospice care for stage four COPD and a pelvic mass. She was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey on August 4, 1933 to parents, father, John and mother, Mary (Daly) Sullivan. She and her late younger brother, John Sullivan, grew up in West Palm Beach, FL. She was married to the late Charles E. Grove, Jr., whom she divorced after 20+ years, but with whom she had four children: Charles E. Grove, III, Sean C. Grove, the late Michael S. Grove and Marian T. (Grove) Crawford. She was the grandmother of three: Sean M. Grove, Kristen E.A. Grove and Brandon R. Grove, and the great-grandmother to one unnamed miscarried great-grandchild.
Her passions were her Catholic Faith, family, friends, sewing, baking (especially bread), reading AND enjoying chocolate. She is most fondly remembered for her deep Love for her Catholic Faith, her beautiful smile, her Irish humor, her encouraging words to even a perfect stranger, and her moments of feistiness.
