She grew up in the Ithaca, Michigan area. At the age of 12 she was baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite by Min Reuben Koehn. To these vows she remained faithful. Her Christian life was meaningful to her. In Michigan she met our father Roy Kenneth Unruh and they were married on September 25, 1949. Together they shared the joys and sorrows of life for over 43 years. To this union were born two sons and two daughters.
The first years were spent farming and working in Michigan. They relocated to Walnut Hill, Florida in 1954 to continue farming. Those early years were sometimes difficult, with clearing the land to get it ready for crops. She helped by taking in ironing for others. In her quiet way she loved and served her family and friends, also making special memories with many youth girls who spent time in her home.
On November 28, 1992 she met with the disappointment of losing her husband suddenly. This brought many lonely times. When her daughter suddenly lost her husband, she found usefulness in helping her with her family. This continued for a number of years, when a sudden blessing came along in the form of Min Edmund Justus. On November 13, 2005 she was united in marriage to Eddie Justus, moving to Bonners Ferry, Idaho. With this union came many blessings as two families blended together beautifully. This union was blessed with three short years after which Father was again taken away leaving her alone again.
Those left to cherish memories are their children: Roger and Jane Unruh, Honey Grove, Texas; Gale and June Unruh, Fountain Run, Kentucky; Diane and Stan Redger, Lakin, Kansas; Denise and Wayne Faircloth, Guntersville, Alabama; Carol Isaac, Millersburg, Ohio, Richard and Sandra Justus, Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Beth and Walt Giesbrecht, Charlie and Karen Justus, Barb and John Unruh, all of Othello, Washington; David Justus of Wasilla, Alaska; Marj Seaman Justus, Dumas, Arkansas; Those left also of the families are many, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Also left to cherish fond memories are her brothers, Lowell and Janis Harms, Dale Harms, Don and Doris Harms, and her sisters, Dorothy Benner Johnson, Ruth, and David Benner, Thelma, and Gerald Boeckner.
Her husbands, parents, one brother, and one son-in-law preceded her in death.
