Her early years were spent in Russia, until 1923, when her family emigrated to Canada, settling in Saskatchewan. She married David Funk in Waldheim, Sask. on July 5, 1931, and the couple made their home in Glenbush, Sask. They moved to Yarrow, B.C., in 1937, moving later to Aldergrove, B.C., and finally, upon retirement, to Clearbrook, B.C. They spent the recent years in the Tabor Home in Clearbrook due to failing health.
