							Obituary  
							 
							Connie L. 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. Memorials may be made in Connie’s name 
							to Lincoln Christian Church or to the donor’s 
							choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to 
							Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.
