Mom was born in Rose Farm, MB and at a very young age worked as a domestic helper for many families. In 1932 Mom married Jacob Unger. They raised their family in the Cartwright area, and when Mom's eyesight failed she moved into Killarney. Mom enjoyed many years of volunteering as a cook's helper at Turtle Mountain Summer Camp, delivering Meals on Wheels, and working at the MCC store in Brandon. Mom spent many hours working on a variety of crafts which she shared with many that stopped by for a visit. Mom was blessed with good health which allowed her travel across Canada visiting many family members and friends. She even travelled to the Northwest Territories to visit with her granddaughter. Her family would like to express their sincere thank you to the staff at the Bayside Personal Care Home for all their love and support. We would also like to thank Mrs. Marie Groening and Donna Pawich for their many hours of love and kindness to Mom.
