Lynn was born on Oct. 14, 1940, to R.E. and Henrietta Sundberg and raised in Manor, Texas. Growing up, she spent most of her time with extended family including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.

In 1958, she graduated from Manor High School as Valedictorian. She loved to visit with her Manor classmates and helped maintain their media page until last October.

Lynn began her studies at Texas Lutheran College in Seguin but returned home to pursue a business career. She began her career working for a phone company in Austin.

After moving to Corpus Christi, she entered the legal field where she truly excelled with wonderful mentors, a strong work ethic, and her intelligence. She treasured her time of more than 40 years working in this field, beginning with Branscomb, Gary, Thomasson, and Hall, and retiring from Branscomb PC as Administrator.

Lynn spent time in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Uvalde, Carrizo Springs, Eagle Pass and Austin due to the position she held. She maintained her connections and friendships with many of the attorneys and co-workers, even through her final days.

Lynn participated in many activities outside of her career: as an active member at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Corpus Christi, volunteering with the Texas Jazz Festival, serving as a docent at Heritage Park, and as a member of both South Texas Association of Legal Administrators (S.T.A.L.A.) and Corpus Christi Human Resource Management Association (CCHRMA).

After retiring in 2007, Lynn moved to Taylor and was active in rekindling and expanding her Kuempel and Pfluger family connections. She was excited to learn about and help the community of Taylor, so she joined Trinity Lutheran Church in Taylor, and served at Taylor Texas Chamber of Commerce, Cinderella’s Closet, and the Taylor Christmas Parade for many years.

Additionally, as her grandchildren attended St. Paul Lutheran School in Thorndale, Lynn also loved participating in activities associated with the church and school.

Lynn is preceded in death by her parents and many treasured aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She is survived by her children; Tiffany and Jason Henry, Stephanie and Ron Churchman, Michael and Keti Gates; and her eight grandchildren: Emily, Sydnie, Wyatt, Dylan, Lily, Lukas, Elia, and Mateo. She is also survived by numerous first cousins and treasured friends. Her legacy of faith will live through generations.
