On September 8, 1911, Helen was born to Johann and Maria Unger in Blumenhof, Manitoba, as the tenth child of thirteen. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings. At age 31, she married John D. Loewen and became mother to his children Marian (Stan Houghton), Ramona (Henry Klassen), Lloyd, Jack (Helen), and Corrine (Alfred Warkentin).
