Peter Jundt
Jan. 16, 1926-Dec. 23, 2020
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-
