Doreen O’Sullivan

June 3, 1957 – January 30, 2023

Doreen Patricia O’Sullivan of Jackson Heights, NY, passed away on January 30, 2023 from a metastasized breast cancer. In her final days, Doreen was enveloped by friends, family, and caregivers who ensured her wishes of a joyful and peaceful passing in her home.

Doreen lived life on her own terms! She was an extremely creative and giving person. A life-long learner, traveler, healer, nature-lover and spiritual seeker, Doreen had a unique life experience. She lived, worked and studied in different locations, including New York State, San Francisco (12 years, 1981-1993), China, India, Ireland, and France.

Professionally, Doreen worked as an acupuncturist, yoga teacher, herbalist, massage therapist, librarian, social worker, and as an advocate for social and environmental causes. She was a healthcare practitioner, yoga teacher and facilitator. Doreen worked with people of all ages and had a particular affinity for children and older adults.

Doreen was actively involved with various communities in New York, including the Tibetan Buddhist and Yoga communities, the Grail, and the Jackson Heights’ Gardening Community.

As log as space remains, as long as the world remains, 
May I too remain to alleviate the sufferings of the world.

As per Doreen’s wishes for those inclined to make a donation in her memory, donations should be made to a Dharma organization of your choice or a nature/enviromental organization.
