Susan Lynn (Ellis) Homer passed away on 01/05/2026. Susie was born Dec. 22, 1957, in Ely, Nevada, and was welcomed by her parents, Bob and Helen Ellis. As a child, Susie enjoyed camping, hunting, and waterskiing with her parents and brother Joe. The family traveled throughout Nevada while following Bob on his construction jobs, experiences that Susie fondly remembered and often shared with her children and grandchildren.
Susie met the love of her life, Dan, in high school. They married January 12, 1974, and later that year welcomed their daughter Amy. Susie graduated from Churchill County High School in 1975. That same year she and the girls’ golf team won the state championship, an achievement she remained proud of throughout her life. The team was later inducted into the CCHS Hall of Fame, an honor Susie deeply valued. In 1977, Susie and Dan welcomed their son, Jason.
Susie began working at Churchill County Telephone Company shortly after and worked there for many years. It was during this time that she formed lifelong friendships before retiring.
Susie was preceded in death by her husband Dan O. Homer; her parents; her brother, Joe Ellis; her mother and father-in-law; and her best friend, Terri Calleas.
She is survived by her daughter Amy Homer and son Jason (Jessica) Homer; grandchildren Evan Lantto, Briana (Andrew) Gonzalez, Bransen Homer, Trenton (Lilly) Homer, Trevon (BreAnna) Ellis, Colin Homer, Jaxon Homer and Aaliyah Ellis; great-grandchildren Presley, Maxton, Swayzee and Banx Gonzalez and Xayvion Ellis. She is also survived by her sister- and brother-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews.
Susie was funny, direct, and willing to show up for people in their time of need. Her love for her family was deep and enduring. She will forever be held in our hearts.
A celebration of life will be held Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, at 3 p.m. at the Churchill County Fire Department. This will be a potluck. If you wish to bring your favorite dish, salad or dessert, it would be greatly appreciated.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Susie’s name to The Solace Tree.
