He graduated from high school in Wibaux, MT and worked on the farm until joining the army in 1945. After his honorable discharge, Ted returned to the farm until after he was married. Ted met his future bride, Jowayne Kouba, at a dance in St. Phillip. They were married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Golva, ND on October 11, 1949. They lived at the Nunberg farm near St. Phillip for a short while before moving south of Golva to the farm of Jowayne’s parents, Jerry and Helen Kouba. Ted and Jowayne were blessed to welcome twins, Debbie and Dennis on Dec 17, 1950 with Julie joining the family on August 7, 1955. In 1998, they retired from 50+ years of farming and moved to Beach. Ted always enjoyed going out dancing with Jowayne and getting together with friends to play cards. He took great pride in his arrowhead collection. He loved his young calves and would sometimes name his favorites. Ted would enjoy time spent hoeing his potatoes, especially if it might get him away from something Jowayne wanted done at the house. Their tasty homemade Polish sausage was always a treat at family gatherings. Ted was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Olga Nunberg, and his nine siblings: sisters, Cecelia Nunberg, Helen Cox, Rose Efta, and Hattie Watson; brothers Tony, Fred, Frank, Casey and Allie Nunberg. Ted was loved and will be missed by many, especially his loving wife, Jowayne of Beach ND and their children, Debbie (Dave) Setera of Glendive, MT, Dennis (Melanie) Nunberg of Bismarck, ND, and Julie (Terry) Zoesch of Elk, WA; their grandchildren, Aaron (Jen) Nunberg of St Paul, MN, Matthew Nunberg of Bozeman, MT, and Brian (Vicky) Mutchler of Chicago, IL; his great-grandchildren, Theodore and Walter Nunberg of St. Paul; Cole and Sydney Mutchler of Chicago and numerous other relatives and friends.
