LYNN STRAUS Obituary

STRAUS--Lynn. The Neuberger Museum of Art and its Friends organization extend their heartfelt sympathies to the family of Lynn Straus. Together with her late husband, Philip, she was one of the Neuberger's most devoted supporters and friends, providing opportunities for generations of students at Purchase College and in the region's pre-K-12 schools to be inspired by the visual arts at the museum. Her devotion to the Neuberger and her passion for the arts and education will be very missed. Tracy Fitzpatrick, Director, Neuberger Museum of Art Paul Zukowsky, Chair, Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art Milagros Pena, President, Purchase College, SUNY

I met Lynn through her best friend, Phil Straus, whom I met through work. But Phil had a big enough heart to make friends all around and to share his best friend, Lynn. I cherished both of them, and I will remember them and pass on their message of loving friendship.

I had the privilege of visiting with and learning from Lynn through our Jewish Board -JBFCS connection. She was a gracious, wise and witty woman who cared deeply about her own family and children worldwide. She changed the quality of life for generations of children. May her memory be a blessing.

How well I remember the "twins" at Scarsdale High. They were not only popular but so smart. I knew Lynn would be an outstanding success in whatever career she chose! Condolences to the family.

Lynn was our mom´s best friend and she was the best person. Kind, caring, giving, compassionate, funny and selfless. She was a part of our family and she will be very missed.

We are so thankful for Lynn´s friendship. If it was Sunday, it was "Bagels & Politics!" at our house or her house. We will miss Lynn forever - she was one of a kind!

May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

Our deepest condolences to the entire family.

With love, Shari, Mark & Roz
