Obituary

Susan Patricia Waller, 74, of Lincoln, Illinois, left this earth to be with Jesus on Saturday, October 4, 2025.

Sue was born on July 29, 1951, in Round Lake, Illinois.

She was a life-long student, first earning her Business Certificate from Richland Community College in 1984, and completing her Master’s Degree in Counseling at University of Illinois, Springfield in 2006.

Sue's deep compassion for others was apparent in her chosen path of education, as well as her everyday life. For decades, Sue was a humble and generous friend, "adopted" daughter, and caretaker for countless church family members and friends. Her life was genuinely faith in action, and her deepest passion was to share the unfailing love of Jesus with others.

She was a licensed minister with The Church of God, a Sunday School Teacher, lay minister, and church van driver.

She was a deeply loving and generous Mom to her daughters and enjoyed the life of being "Gammy" to her grandkids to the fullest.

Sue was married to her love and tireless caregiver, Martin Waller, for 28 years, and told everyone she talked to what a loving and sacrificial husband and caregiver he was.

Susan is survived by her husband, Martin, of Lincoln, Illinois; daughters, Tina Lei Bauman of Roseville, California and Holly Rogers of McLean, Illinois; granddaughters, Lana Cannon and Ashley Nalley; and four loving big brothers who loved and cared for her greatly.

Funeral services for Susan will be held at 5:00 pm on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln. Visitation will take place one hour prior from 4:00 - 5:00 pm, also at the funeral home. A burial will be held at Zion Cemetery in Lincoln.
