On June 19, 1940, she married Lawrence X. Junion at St. Peter Church in Lincoln. They were married nearly 65 years, when he preceded her in death April 28, 2005. Together they owned and operated the Junion Homestead farm until their retirement in October of 1990, when they relocated to Luxemburg. Magdalene and her husband, Lawrence, were members of the Mr. & Mrs. Dance Club and the Happy Hoppers. She was an active member and former officer of the Catholic Order of Foresters. She was an excellent caregiver, especially to four close family members, including her husband until their death. Magdalene always enjoyed working the fields of her farm on the John Deere '70, which is still kept in the family by her son, Jim.
Survivors include two sons, Jim (Jeanne) Junion, New Franken; Larry (Cathy) Junion, Green Bay; one daughter, Peggy (Tony) Knorn (who now run the Junion Homestead Farm), Casco; eight grandchildren, Jody (Chris) Rasmussen, Paul Junion (friend, Erin), Christine Junion-Suttner (friend, Myron), Jeff Junion, Amanda Knorn (fiance, Jesse), Megan, Amber and Mikayla Knorn; seven great-grandchildren, Phillip, Christian, Libbie, Logan, Alex, Ella and Eva; three nephews, and their wives, Eben (Lois), Gene (Mary Jane) and Karl (Lynn) Koss, Marian Koss, one niece Karen Havel (Magdalene's godchild); one stepbrother, Vince Delain (Betty), Casco; and her beloved kitty, Tee Tee.
