Ursula Christa Ruth Neugebauer was born to Erich and Margaret Neugebauer January 30, 1928 in Gorlitz, Germany, and resided in various cities in Germany as her father was an Administrator of Hospitals for TB. They were ordered by Hitler to run hospitals for the Nazis for a year before fleeing the Russian invasion. Ursula was a Registered Nurse, witnessed the horrors of the war and had to identify many of her friends causing her to never go to a funeral with an open coffin. She met Orville George Greear in Regansburg, Germany, in 1946, and married at St. Veits Church in Straubing, Germany on December 11, 1948. They flew out of Nuremberg, Germany on Christmas Day of 1948 in a C130 plane filled women, children and soldiers. A nice pilot flew them by the Statue of Liberty, but wasn't suppose to coming to the United States. They stopped at the newly formed United States Air Force in NJ where she amazed them by the number of fresh eggs Ursula ate having a 22 inch waist. She hadn't had any in years. Discharged men and women got to see each other in the Chow Hall that cost .35 cents, where Ursula was already taking leftovers to George. From there, a 2 day train ride from NJ to Livingston, Montana arriving New Years Day, 1949. They welcomed the 1st of 3 children, Harold Wayne, on September 20, 1949. They moved to Amarillo for work, bought a new 600 square house @ 4326 S Polk St. in November 1951. Along came their second son, Kenneth Erich, on February 8, 1952. Ursula took Wayne and Kenny to Germany on the U.S.S. United States steam ship in March of 1954 to see parents/Oma and Opa for the first time. Their daughter, Linda Kay, was born November 21, 1954. Their grandson, Lance, was born June 27, 1975, granddaughter Tabitha Kristin on September 28, 1981, and Great Granddaughter Payton Danielle October 13, 2007. Ursula, like her husband George, was very talented making quilts, Afghans, needle work, and a great cook. She was an AWESUM Volunteer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Texas Plains, as well as a dedicated housewife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Amarillo Fire Department Local 542, Interim Care Home Hospice or your favorite charity.
