Peter Jundt

Peter Jundt, 94,Minot,

passed away on Wednes-

day, December 23, 2020,

in a Minot nursing home.

Peter was born January

16, 1926, to John and

Stephina (Voeller) Jundt

in Rugby, ND. He was

raised in Rugby until his

family moved to a farm in

Pierce County in 1938. He

worked in farming and

construction until his en-

try into the United States

Army in 1951. He was as-

signed to the post en-

gineers at Fort Richard-

son, Alaska, where he

rose to the rank of cor-

poral before his honorable

discharge in 1953.

Upon his return to

North Dakota and his

marriage to Rosemary

Schmaltz of Fulda, he

moved to Minot, where he

worked for Voeller’s Fur-

niture from 1954 to 1962.

In 1963 he began 26 years

of service to the city of

Minot as an operator at

the water treatment plant.

He was a founding

member of Little Flower

Catholic Church and for

many years served as an

usher at the Saturday

evening Mass. Ever curi-

ous, he maintained a life-

long love of reading news-

papers, magazines and

books.

He was an avid fan of

the University of Notre

Dame, and especially of

its football team. His af-

fection for North Dakota

manifested itself in the

many road trips he took

with his brother Leo to

check crops and construc

tion projects. Stops for

pie and coffee were a

must on these outings.

When not reading, he de-

voted a great deal of time

to prayer, attending daily

Mass and saying the

rosary. He will be fondly

remembered for the gen-

erosity of his time, talents

and treasure to his

friends, family and

numerous Catholic chari-

ties.

The family extends its

sincerest gratitude to the

staff of Trinity Nursing

Home, especially those

who cared for Peter on

2East. Tawny Quist’s

dedication to his well-be-

ing will never be forgot-

ten.

He is survived by his

former wife Rosemary

Jundt of Minot: sons, Bri-

an Jundt of Minot and

Duane Jundt and his wife

Ann Lundberg of Orange

City, IA: brothers: Leo

(Ramona) Jundt, Joe (Jan-
