Notes for Martha Lynne Ehlers:
General Notes:
Lynne was born December 30, 1950, my first niece. Her birth was in Austin, Travis County,
Texas. Though she lived some in Bryan, TX, most of her growing up years were in Austin
and she graduated from High School in Austin.
Lynne was a student at the University of Texas, School of Social Work, and garnered both
her bachelors and her masters degree there. She always seemed to be fun loving, yet
quiet and reserved. It was my pleasant surprise to see her father cite her in his letter to us
of July 6, 1969 that Lynne was just finishing a run of "Guys and Dolls." She was in a group
that was performing at Zilker Park Hillside Theater there in Austin, Texas. Lynne was on the
stage and set design crew at age 18.
Lynne was the first student to receive a masters degree from the Graduate School of Social
Work of the University of Texas whose parent had also received such degree. To add to
the unusual nature of that feat, they both received their masters degrees together at the
same ceremony! Her father, Vic, had been in the first class at the graduate school that
began awarding masters degrees in social work.
Professionally, she was a social worker, and pursued her career in quite a number of
locations, mostly in Texas and in Georgia. Before her marriage, she worked and lived a
while in Dallas in the 1970's. She joined Highland Park Presbyterian Church, where I would
be employed after she moved on. She lived in the same apartments on Northwest
Highway, between Preston Road and Hillcrest, where at various times our children lived,
Tiffany and Todd, as well as where Suzanne and I lived before moving out to our current
ranch.
While working in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, she met Foster Scott Brin, a medical
student at the time. They married and gave issue to one child, Andrew.
Lynn'e professional license was #CSW001229, Clinical Social Worker under the State of
Georgia Professional Counselors / Social Work / Marriage. It was issued initially October 21,
1989. Her residence listed then was 104 Harbor Drive in Warner Robins, GA, her residence
at her death in October, 2001.
Lynne had several bouts with cancer over the years. She died two months short of her
50th birthday and about three months before her mother died.
Death Notes:

Foster Scott Brin was born on 23 May 1948.
