Obituary

Connie Parker, 81, of Lincoln,  passed away on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at Copper Creek Cottages.

Connie was born July 18, 1943, in Lincoln, IL, the daughter of Noel and Wilma (Durst) Suedmeier. She married Jeff Parker on June 9, 1990, in Lincoln, IL. He survives.

Connie is also survived by her daughter, Lisa (Nick) Rohlfs; grandchildren, Sydni (Daniel) Bacon, Jarrett (Anna Coleman) Rohlfs, and Brayden Rohlfs; and one great-grandson, Warner Dean Rohlfs.

She was preceded in death by her parents; infant daughter, Jodi Ann Bevard; and her beloved miniature Schnauzer, Baron Von Maxwell the 32nd “Maxwell”.

Connie worked for Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital for 44 years. In that time, she worked in Admitting, and as a Switchboard Operator; then she moved into their Insurance Department; then transferred into the role of a Physical Therapy Technician; and ended her hospital career as the Sterile Processing Coordinator.

Connie was a kind soul who never knew a stranger, and always had a smile. She enjoyed her grandchildren’s activities and would do her best to attend every event. She was always ready for an adventure. After soul searching for many years she finally found Jeff, the love of her life and they had 34 wonderful years of marriage together.

Funeral Services for Connie will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at Lincoln Christian Church. Visitation will take place the night prior on Friday, January 10, 2025, also at the church from 4:00-7:00 pm.
