Lynn Neubauer

Lynn Neubauer, 61, of Chester, died on Saturday, December 29, 2007 at her home after a four-year battle with colon cancer. Wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and business owner, she will be missed by all who knew her, and particularly by her brothers and sisters at Kent Island United Methodist Church (KIUMC). Lynn was born in Inglewood, California, just outside of Los Angeles, on August 5, 1946, and graduated from Morningside High School in 1964. After spending 27 years in Southern California and another 8 years in Plano, Texas, where she entered the real estate title business, Lynn relocated to Perry Hall, Maryland, in 1981. She and her husband later established their own business, Newlyn Title Assurance Co., Inc., in 1997. Lynn was an avid tennis player and cooking enthusiast for most of her life, and her work in the title industry has been widely recognized in the Baltimore and Annapolis metropolitan areas. However, Lynn’s Christian faith was centermost in her life. She always strived to humbly live out her faith with passion for her Savior and compassion for those around her. Her uncompromising belief in God’s miraculous work in her life is what enabled her to live so active and vital a life for years beyond what was originally projected and right to the very end. Lynn was Lay Leader at KIUMC, and particularly active in the annual Costa Rica Mission project sponsored by the church. She also touched a multitude of lives as a children’s Sunday school teacher and member of the church’s healing ministry. More than that, Lynn’s handling of her suffering with grace, unwavering faith, and in the likeness of Christ, all the while worshipping at the feet of her Savior, brought comfort, courage, and hope to countless others experiencing their own trials. Survivors include her husband, David Neubauer; her mother, Maxine Robinson of Mesa, Arizona; her son, Lt Col Scott Bedrosian, US Air Force, of Brandon, Florida, his wife Lisa, and their eight children Josiah, Peter, Caleb, Esther, Luke, Grace, Daniel, and Isaac; her stepdaughter, Jennifer Palmer of Glen Burnie MD, her husband Robert, and their three children, Caitlin, Brendan, and Rebecca; and her stepson, Adam of Pasadena MD, his wife, Jennifer, and their two children, Destiny and Logan. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 5, 2008 at the Kent Island United Methodist Church at 11 am.
