Jacqueline Sullivan

Jacqueline (Jackie) Salvaggio Sullivan, 58 was born on Feb. 4th, 1959 and entered into the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, March 9th, 2017 after a very long and debilitating illness surrounded by her loving family.  Born in Troy, she was the daughter of the late Vito J. Salvaggio and Charlotte O’Brien Salvaggio. Jacqueline is survived by her husband, Michael J. Sullivan of Speigletown, her son Christopher M. Sullivan whom she loved, cherished and adored with all her heart, his wife Jamie Knightes Sullivan, her sister Elizabeth Salvaggio Freddette (Richard), her brother Frank Salvaggio (Barbara), several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. Jackie attended Catholic Central High School and Troy High School.  She also attended Hudson Valley and obtained her Real Estate Brokers license.  She was employed by Donlon and Son Insurance from 1989 to 1999.  In 1999, Jackie changed careers to care for the elderly which brought her much happiness and joy.  She was a great caregiver to all and will fondly be remembered for her kindness and care she gave others. She was always the helping hand to those in need.  She enjoyed spending time with her friends and family and going to the Saratoga Racino where she made many friends.  Her greatest enjoyment was spending time with the love of her life, her son Christopher.
