Lynn was born Aug. 22, 1950, to Wilbert and Beverly Milbrandt Steuber and grew up on the family farm in Fairmont, Minn. She graduated from East Chain High School. Lynn had many interests, especially flower gardening, crafting and an occasional trip to the casino. She is survived by her husband, Jerry Handeland of Baxter; Jessica Woudsma of St. Paul; Kelly Woudsma of Baxter; Tammy Woitilla Handeland of Brainerd; Troy (Nikki) Handeland of Chapin, S.C.; brothers, Kenneth (Jean) Steuber of Fairmont; Curt (Val) Steuber of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Lenny (Julie) Steuber of Fairmont; close friend, Joni Peterson; Jim Woudsma, father of her two daughters, Jessica and Kelly; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Moments Hospice Care staff, St. Joseph Medical Center staff, North Ambulance, and to their friends at Autumn Glen apartments. Lynn chose to donate her body to the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest Program to support medical research and education for health professionals. A celebration of Lynn's life will be held at a later date. The family requests donations made in honor of Lynn go to Camp Confidence Learning Center in East Gull Lake, Minn.
