Susan (Sinn) Funke, 62, of Bellevue, Iowa, passed away peacefully in the presence of her devoted husband, Kevin Funke, on November 25, 2024 at Stonehill Care Center.  She was born on June 16, 1962 to M. George and Delta (Rankin) Sinn.

Susan was raised on a family farm in Boyton Center, Illinois. She graduated from Bradley with a double major in biology and psychology and a masters degree in psychology. She was a counselor, devoted wife, loving mother, loyal friend, and enthusiastic grandma.

There was music wherever Susan went, from singing nursery rhymes to her children, to rocking out to Meatloaf, to singing the perfect snippet of song for any conversation. She brought sparkle, wit, and laughter to every gathering. She took immense joy in her family and making every family event one to remember.

She is survived by her loving husband, Kevin Funke, 62, as well as her children Katherine, Scott (Amy), and Claire (Ashwin), as well as her granddaughter, Emma.

The visitation for Susan will take place at the Miller Funeral Home in East Dubuque, IL on Friday, November 29th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. with a memorial service at Saint Luke’s UMC in Dubuque on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Burial will be at a later date in the East Dubuque Cemetery.
