Lynn Marie Neulreich Coady, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and dear and loyal friend to
many, passed peacefully on August 9, 2023, at Sharon Richardson Community Hospice with her
loving husband and best friend, Joe, at her side. She was 65 years young.
Born on November 8, 1957 to parents Walter and Darlene (Burgess) Neulreich, Lynn grew up
with her sister Darlene, and her parents in Menomonee Falls.
Lynn’s quest for knowledge was evidenced in earning her first degree, a Bachelor’s Degree in
Business Administration, from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 1980 and an Associate
Degree of Applied Science in 2016 from Lakeshore Technical College.
Coupled with her educational background and her expertise in working with employees, Lynn
embarked on a successful professional journey over 21years as a Senior Corporate Trainer for
Fort Howard Paper in Green Bay, and as a Human Resource Executive in Human Resources at
ACUITY, A Mutual Insurance Company, Sheboygan. Her skills in interpersonal communication,
teamwork, training, organization, and technical expertise made her a valuable member of any
team.
Lynn’s crowning achievement professionally, however, was the creation of BLUEWEBGROUP in
2016, a company specializing in building affordable websites for small business in Southeast
Wisconsin. As its sole employee, Lynn helped client companies, large and small, to
troubleshoot problems, update and build websites, and provide ongoing maintenance.
But more important to Lynn was her commitment to family as a strong, engaged, committed,
and loving woman who dedicated herself to family members both near and far.
She married her husband, Joe, on August 26, 1989 and moved to Howards Grove in 1997.
Along with Joe, she lovingly and successfully raised their son, Joshua and step-son Nick. She
and Joe enjoyed all outdoor activities, including visiting many parks.
When their first grandson was born, Rowen, 4 plus years ago, Lynn was a hands-on grandma
as evidenced by her frequent day trips to Madison. Her second grandson, Micah, was born
after Lynn entered hospice, so she was unable to welcome him as she did with his brother,
Rowen. But prior to Micah’s birth, Lynn shared her excitement with her family and friends about
becoming a grandma again. Thanks to Micah’s parents, she was able to hold Micah shortly
before she died.
And along with Joe’s help, Lynn daily oversaw the last years of her father’s life in Howards
Grove who died in January 2023 at age 105.
She was also “mom” to her furry children, Princess and Shadow.
Besides spending time with family and professional activities, Lynn was a voracious reader and
spent countless hours maintaining her yard and flower gardens. And until her health issues
became a factor, Lynn was an avid walker both solo and with friends from the subdivision in
which she lived.
Lynn also volunteered with several local organizations including serving as a board member on
the Lakeshore Technical College Foundation and the Sheboygan Senior Community. She was
also a member of the International Society of Employee Benefits Specialists and the Society of
Human Resources Management.
Lynn is survived by her husband, Joe, her son Joshua Coady (Adrienne Miller), stepson
Nicholas Coady, and grandchildren Rowenand Micah Coady. She was preceded in death by
her parents and sister Darlene Webber.

The family would like to thank the staff of Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice for all their
loving care and support.
