For over 27 years, she was employed by Wayne W. Knorr Inc. as clerical staff until her retirement in 2002. Elaine attended the Shiloh Bible Church, Bloomsburg. She enjoyed spending her time playing bingo, playing cards, and she loved to socialize. Most important to her was time spent with friends and family. Elaine would always remember you with a card or phone call. Her macaroni and cheese and sticky buns were always a request at every gathering. She was so knowledgeable and always willing to give sound advice. Elaine will be remembered for her loving nature and quick wit. Even as we slowly lost so much of her to Dementia, she never lost her fun-loving spirit. In addition to her parents and husband, Elaine was also preceded in death by her son, Jack Duane Unger, Jr. and two brothers: Jerry Keller and Allan Maurer. Survivors include her beloved daughter: Jill Rogala and husband Paul of Bloomsburg, daughter-in-law, Lorraine Unger of Mifflinville; seven grandchildren: Jack Unger III, Patricia Unger, Danielle Gordon and husband Timothy, Gabrielle Gensmer and husband Zebulon, James Myers, Mathew Myers, Joseph Matias III; ten great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandson. A time of Visitation for family and friends will be held on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at the Allen Funeral Home, Inc., 745 Market at Eighth Street, Bloomsburg.
