Lin Fuchs

Lin Fuchs, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2026. Born on January 19, 1958, in Columbus, Ohio, Lin's life was a testament to love, family, and the joy of togetherness. Her departure has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew her, but her spirit will forever live on in the memories she created and the lives she touched.

Lin was a truly family-oriented woman. She found immense joy in hosting lively gatherings that brought loved ones close, and she cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren. Her warm and nurturing spirit was evident in the way she embraced her role as a grandmother, sharing laughter and creating lasting bonds. Lin also had a fondness for shopping, a simple pleasure that brought her happiness and added sparkle to her everyday life. She also thoroughly enjoyed vacationing in Gatlinburg and Las Vegas.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Doug Fuchs, who stood by her side through all of life’s seasons. Her loving children, Chelynne Shott and Geoff (Daphne) Zag-Fuchs, carry forward her legacy of kindness and strength. Lin’s heart was fullest when surrounded by her precious grandchildren: Genavieve Miller, Aaliyah Jane Zag-Fuchs, Ava Shott, and Liam Shott, each a living reminder of her unconditional love. Lin’s family circle also includes her cherished sister Susie (Ron) Light, as well as many nieces, nephews, and other dear family members who find comfort in one another during this time.

Lin was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Richard Fulton and Mary Jones, whose memories were treasures she held close throughout her life.

A visitation to honor Lin’s life will be held on June 9, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home, Northeast, located at 3047 E Dublin Granville Road in Columbus, Ohio. This gathering of family and friends offers a quiet moment to reflect and share the impact Lin had on all who knew her.

The following day, June 10, 2026, a Mass of Christian Burial in celebration of Lin’s life and legacy will be held at 10:00 AM at St. Josephine Bakhita Parish, 6077 Sharon Woods Boulevard in Columbus. 

Burial will follow at Resurrection Cemetery, Lewis Center, OH. 

Lin's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, laughter, and the unbreakable ties of family. Though she has left this earth, her nurturing heart and joyful spirit will forever remain in the embrace of all who loved her. She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and eternally cherished.
