Edward Albert Neubert

Edward Albert Neubert of Stevensville, MD, passed away on January 19, 2023. He was 76. Born in Brooklyn, NY, in August of 1946, he was the only child of John and Lilian Neubert. At age five, the family left New York to move with John to one of his many military assignments, and they continued to move every three years or so across the country and around the world. After going to high school on base in Bremerhaven Germany, he returned to the states and enlisted in the Army in September of 1966 where he was assigned to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs for basic training and then moved on to Fort Eustis in Virginia. Ed was honorably discharged from the Army in September of 1968. He moved to Maryland shortly after when his dad was stationed at Fort Meade and then began work at Volkswagen of America in New Carrollton. While he spent his days at work at Volkswagen, he spent his nights and weekends doing what he loved-- bowling. He and his best friend Michael decided to join a team in University Park, MD. One of the other bowlers on the team was Doris Duncan. Ed and Doris bowled together all season, and after weeks of bowling and chatting, Ed finally asked Doris out on a date at the end of the season. The two were inseparable from that moment on, getting engaged a few months later, and walking down the aisle together on August 25, 1973. After being an only child and army brat his entire life, he was overjoyed with his new wife and his new large extended family that welcomed in as one of their own. Just three years later, the two were overjoyed to welcome Christine Michele to the world. Ed was a devoted husband and father, and his family never doubted that they were always loved and were the most important thing to him. While Ed enjoyed the friendships and bonds he made with his co-workers at Volkswagen and Niro, he happily moved into retirement to spend more time with his beloved Grandchildren, Jacob and Emily. He was always there to chauffeur, cheer on, coach, and help them in whatever sport or activity they were doing. He cherished his time with them- always beaming on the sidelines watching Jacob and his Miss Em do their thing. A memorial service will be held at 4 pm on Thursday, January 26 at the Fellows, Helfenbein & Newnam Funeral Home in Chester, MD, where friends and family may visit beginning at 3 pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Ed “Papa” Neubert Memorial Fund for the Kent Island Youth Baseball Softball Club (KIYBSC). Papa was happiest when he was sitting behind the plate or on the sideline cheering for the kids’ teams.
