Susan Kae Aberle, age 76 passed away at home on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, surrounded by her beloved husband and children. Su was born in Roanoke, Illinois to Rich and Helen (Feller) Zimmerman.

Susan, affectionately known as Su, lived a life of compassion, wisdom and unwavering faith. She earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and devoted her life to helping the critically ill, teaching the spiritual roots of disease and offering hope and healing to many.

She is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 54 years, Michael Aberle and their children: Krent (Rachel) Aberle - children: Greta, Oliver and Julian; Ginni (David) Busche -- children: Trinity, Melody, Yeshua, Shiloh, Jedidiah, Lydia, Liberty and Sarah; Ben (Nancy) Aberle - children: Michala and Ayden; and Joshua (Sarah) Aberle - children Elianna, Samuel, Aaron, William, Madisen, Obadiah, Titus, Isaiah, Thomas and Jasalynn.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Rich and Helen Zimmerman.

Su found joy in her kitchen, cooking meals that brought her family together. She loved gardening and preserving the harvest through canning and freezing. Her recipes were treasured, though none could quite match her touch. She also enjoyed crafting and painting in her studio, expressing her creativity with warmth and grace.
