Edward Unger of Surrey, B.C. passed
away to be with the Lord on September 17,
at the age of 44 years, after several months
of illness .
Edward was born on September 25, 1930
to John and Margaret Loewen Unger of
Ernfold, Sask. He spent his early years
there, attended elementary school and helped
on the parental farm. He attended Herbert
Bible School for several years and then
moved to Arnold, B.C. On September 30,
1955 he was married to Laura Suderman of
Surrey, a union blessed with two daughters ,
They made their home in Surrey. An electri·
cian by trade, he worked for Elgar Electric
for 19 years until his death.
He was also active in Christian witness,
first in the Kennedy Heights Church and
then in the Green Timbers Fellowship, of
which he was a charter member. He served
as chairman of the Board of Trustees there
until illness forced him to step back.
In his last lesson to a boys and girls
group, he used a light bulb and electric
power to demonstrate the importance of
being "plugged in" to Jesus, the Christian's
source of power.
He was discovered to be seriously ill in
May and on September 17 he went to be with
the Lord. A very meaningful experience for
his entire family was an Unger reunion in
Saskatchewan in June of this year. The
funeral service was held at the Surrey
Alliance Church on September 19 with
Pastor A. R. Josephson officiating.
Edward was preceded in death by his
father in 1964. He leaves to mourn, his wife,
Laura; two daughters, Sharon and Norma,
at home; his mother, (Mrs .) Margaret Unger,
at Herbert, Sask.; two sisters, Mary (Mrs.
Abe) Loewen, Arnold, B.C. and Margaret
(Mrs. Victor) Rempel of Taber, Alta.; five
brothers, Henry, Abe, and Peter of southern
Sask., John of Winnipeg, and Jake of
Ponoka, Alta.; and a host of relatives and
friends.
