Faith Palma Bauerlein, age 74, a longtime resident of Carol Stream, Illinois, went to be with the Lord on Friday, March 24, 2023, at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.  She was born July 15, 1948 in La Porte, Indiana to Rev. G. William and Palma Bauerlein.

Faith grew up in Indiana, Wisconsin, and the Chicago area and graduated from St. Charles (Illinois) High School. She was employed for over 30 years in Carol Stream at Spraying Systems Co. before retiring in 2014.

Her life was centered on her Christian faith, and she was active at Willow Creek Community Church Wheaton and formerly at Wheaton Bible Church. Faith has touched so many lives with her joyfulness and love for life. She especially loved children and enjoyed interacting with them. Faith was always young in spirit. She was surrounded by friends and will be missed by many.

When computers became popular, Faith eagerly took on a large learning curve, becoming proficient in sharing with many online. To build on the friendships she developed, Faith joined Facebook and other media groups to share common life experiences and become better informed.

She is survived by her siblings, John Bauerlein, Sharon Weinblatt, Mary Polansky, and Lance (Patricia) Bauerlein; her nieces and nephews, Derek (Bethany) Polansky, Michele (Dave) Clinton, Anita (Bryce) Morgan, H. Ronald (Kristen) Murphy III, Richard (Kari) Bauerlein, Jaimie (Derek) Mains, and 15 grandnieces and grandnephews.  She was preceded in death by her parents and her niece, Valerie Bauerlein.

A visitation will be held Thursday, March 30, 2023 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Wheaton Bible Church, 27W500 North Ave., West Chicago, IL, followed by a celebration of life service at 7:00 p.m.  A live stream of the service may be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReKqQKVcOjA
