Mrs. Nancy Sullivan Doelling

Nancy Sullivan Doelling died on June 1, 2015. Nan was born on February 10, 1930 in Potsdam, NY and lived in that small college town in upstate New York until enrolling at Syracuse University in 1948. Her father, Richard Sullivan owned one of the two downtown hotels in Potsdam and it was the center of activity for their family and much of the town with a restaurant on the second floor and shops on the street level. Nan’s family spent summers at their beloved “camp” at Joe Indian pond in the Adirondacks. All Nan and Lou’s children; Caren, Dick, Mark and Dan loved their annual summers at camp. And their children; Richard, Ross, Curtis, Jackie, Matt and Jackson grew up always looking forward to their summer trips with all their cousins at Joe Indian pond. Nan married Louis Doelling in 1952 and they moved to Atlanta that year. The family spent the 1950s and 1960s on Carmel roadwith their close family friends the Longs and the Lueptows. Nan was very active and played golf during this time and raised her children. Nan and her daughter Caren bought a horse in the late sixties and began riding at the Sexton farm on Harts Mill road. In the early 70’s Nan and Lou decided to move out to the country and built a home in Crabapple. With her typical enthusiasm she took to the country life immediately. She became very active in the horse world during these years and won many awards with her favorite horse, King. Nan raised horses and many other animals on their farm and always had an abundant vegetable garden. In the later years after she began to ride less she got back into golf and was a regular player at the Canton Golf Club. Active in tournaments there, Nan had many good friends at the club and was loved by her regular partners.Nan’s lifelong strong Catholic faith sustained her as her health declined in recent years. She relished the visits from her parish priests. Nan was beloved by her children and grandchildren and by her many friends from all walks of her life. Nan is survived by her four children; Caren Potter of Fieldbrook, California, Louis Richard Doelling of Atlanta, Mark Damian Doelling and his wife Kathy of Dunwoody, and Daniel Renck Doelling and his wife Christina of Roswell. She is also survived by her six grandchildren; Louis Richard Doelling, Jr., Ross Edward Doelling, Curtis Mark Doelling, Jacqueline Germaine Doelling, Matthew Mark Doelling and Jackson Daniel Doelling.
