Sarah W. "Sally" Sullivan, a homemaker and accomplished horsewoman, died Monday from complications of dementia at Roland Park Place. She was 90.
Sarah Whitall was born in Boston and spent almost two years on Nantucket before moving to San Rocco, her mother's family farm in Crownsville.
She was a 1935 graduate of Garrison Forest School and studied animal husbandry at the University of Maryland, and the Women's College of Geneva, Switzerland.
Mrs. Sullivan met her future husband, E. Murray Sullivan, while racing at the Gibson Island Yacht Club.
The couple married in 1942, and lived for many years on Whitfield Road in Guilford, and at San Rocco. Mr. Sullivan, an insurance executive, died in 1988.
Mrs. Sullivan enjoyed fox hunting with the Howard County Hunt Club and later she and her husband joined the Marlborough Hunt Club in Prince George's County.
She was a member of the Women's Hamilton Street Club and enjoyed attending the theater and the symphony.
Mrs. Sullivan was a world traveler and had traveled from "Alaska to the Amazon," family members said.
She was a communicant of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 811 Cathedral St., where a memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. April 11.
Surviving are a son, Edward M. "Ned" Sullivan of Aspen, Colo.; two daughters, Sally Sullivan Robinson of Baltimore and Nancy Sullivan of Cincinnati; and three grandsons.
