MARYANN UNANGST
Maryann Unangst, 88, of Bath and Nazareth, passed away Tuesday, October 30, 2018. She was the wife of the late Owen C.H. Unangst who died in 1984. Born in Northampton, on September 5,1930, she was the daughter of the late Howard and Ruby (Sloyer) Luckenbach. She was the mother of five children, nine grandchildren and four great 
grandchildren, all of whom were the joys of her life. Children: Son, Owen and wife Margi Cech of Colorado; daughter, Luann of Florida; daughter, Susan and husband Mark Bahnick of Nazareth; son, Charles and wife Shelly of Nazareth; and son, Roger and wife Trudy of Bath. Grandchildren: Mathew and Ryan Unangst, Chelsea and Kevin Unangst, Julie (Bahnick) Bartocci and Alison Bahnick, Spencer Unangst, Kody and Tori Unangst. Great grandchildren: Harper and Henley Bartocci and Brooklynn Unangst and Brooks Unangst. Maryann was predeceased by her Luckenbach siblings: Tim (Howard), Carl, Bobbie (Robert), Rodney, Helen and Sidney.
Maryann attended Northampton High School, where she met Owen, the love of her life. Sadly, Owen died young and his death left a permanent scar in her life. After 34 years, we are delighted for their Heavenly reunion.
Maryann was a Registered Nurse and attended Abington School of Nursing. Over the years, she has been employed at St. Luke’s Hospital, Miller Blood Bank, Praxis Care, and Holy Family Manor. She retired from Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital in Allentown.
Maryann’s life story: When Maryann and Owen married, her life as a town girl ended and she moved to her husband’s 1767 stone farmhouse and 113 acre farm. She happily spent time in the garden, picked apples and tended animals. For many years, Maryann chronicled her experiences in “Down on the Farm” stories for the Bath Home News. Maryann was delighted when son Roger chose to establish Unangst Tree Farms, keeping the farm in the family for another generation.
After marriage and moving to the farm, five children soon followed. She loved being a mother and filled her days with their activities including teaching Sunday School, being a class mom and Den Leader and coaching softball. When her daughter Luann, a natural athlete, could not play sports on the male teams, Maryann helped to create the area’s first girls’ softball league. Maryann also enjoyed sharing the outdoors with her family. Hunting, fishing, ice skating, sledding, swimming, canoeing and hiking trips to the Pocono cabin and lake were family favorites. (She was a good shot, putting over 20 deer in the freezer.)
Maryann loved to cook, bake, can, freeze and try new recipes. Every fall the basement was filled with rows and rows of canned fruits and vegetables. Her food preservation techniques were the feature article in an Organic Farming magazine and were highlighted in several Farm Journal articles. The meals for Easter and Thanksgiving were guaranteed to be delicious and tin after tin of Christmas cookies were ready for Santa. At local fairs, Maryann won many blue ribbons for her bread, sticky buns and chocolate cake. She was especially proud the year she won best of show from the Allentown Fair.
Maryann loved history and enjoyed being part of Burnside Plantation and The George Wolf Historical Society. For East Allen Township’s 250th anniversary, Maryann researched and wrote a history book honoring their local history.
