MARGARETA UNGER

Margareta Unger, beloved wife of Peter P. Unger of Yarrow, B.C. was born September 15, 1895 in Southern Russia. She was the 8th of 18 children born to John and Helen Funk. Her godly parents taught her the elements of the Christian faith. At the age of 16 Margareta accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour. Shortly thereafter she publicly confessed Jesus Christ as her Lord by consenting to water baptism at which time she was also received into membership in the Miloradofka M.B. Church.

In 1922 she gave her marriage vow to Peter Unger. After 3 years of married life, in troublesome Russia and with the sad experience in the loss of their first son, Peter and Margareta Unger came to Canada and settled in Provost, Alberta. In this community of their earthly sojourn 7 sons were born to them. In 1937 the family moved to Athabasca, Alberta. Recognizing the need for Christian fellowship the family moved once again, this time to British Columbia and settled near Yarrow in 1940.

In 1946, Margareta was hospitalized with a serious kidney problem. An operation proved successful and she was able to return to her family. But the kidney problem recurred periodically. This spring it pleased our heavenly Father to call her to her heavenly home, She entered her eternal reward on June 21, 1972 at the age of 76.

She is survived by her husband, Peter Unger; seven sons, John, Pete, Philip, Menno, Ben, Paul, Walter; and their wives; 25 grandchildren, and many friends and relatives.
