Ana C. Ungar died on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. She was born on March 13,1935 in Sensuntepeque, EI Salvador. Her parents were Jose del Cid and Maria del Cid Cruz.
Ana and her husband, Irwin, first met at the University of Kansas, where both were students in the Department of Botany. Ana was the love of Irwin’s life. She was an outstanding student and later received a B.A. degree in French magna cum laude in the Department of Modern Languages at Ohio University.
Ana was a very friendly person, enjoyed the company of friends and liked to party. She and Irwin were a classic example of opposite personalities attracting each other.
Ana and Irwin had three children. She gave them all of her love and attention. The results of her love and affection led to three independent adults with successful careers. Ana is survived by her husband, Irwin Ungar; three children, Steven (Margaret) Ungar, Sandra (Roy) Clonch and Sharon (David) Hackley; six grandchildren, Sarah (Jonathan Clark) Ungar, Simone Ungar, Cheyenne (Keith) Mader, Chelsea Clonch, Conor Hackley, and Lauren Hackley; and two great grandchildren, Sierra and Stella Mader.
Ana was never happier than when she was surrounded by family. A highlight of this was she and Irwin’s 50th wedding anniversary celebration. She loved to travel, taking a number of cruises to different parts of the world. Some of the more memorable cruises were trips to Alaska, a trip to the Holy Land and cruises of the Mediterranean.
Ana had a competitive spirit. She was active in sports, especially tennis. Bridge was a card game she enjoyed and played for many years.
She had two sisters and a brother, the older sister Guadalupe survives her. She has a number of nieces and nephews in both EI Salvador and the United States.
A family graveside service was observed at Alexander Cemetery, Athens with Rabbi Levi Raichik officiating. Arrangements were with Jagers & Sons Funeral Home, Athens.

My condolences to Ana's family. Ana & Irwin used to come to my aqua aerobics class when I first moved to Athens. Even though I was new and a pretty terrible instructor, they always showed up with smiles on their faces and were kind to me about the class :) It sounds like she was a pretty wonderful mother, wife, grandmother, aunt and sibling. May she rest in peace and may you have comfort from your memories of her.

Irwin and family: I just learned of Ana's passing and am so saddened. She was a vibrant and beautiful person and I don't think I ever saw her without that wonderful smile. The world is indeed a much sadder place without her in it. Love and condolences.

Aunt Ana was a very good person, I couldn’t have a super close relationship with her, but every time we say hi to each other, she was super kind and she would ask for my dad(her late sister Isabel’s son), I am glad that we spoke a few days after her birthday this year and she has happy to know that I was her with her oldest sister Maria, and my parents also were able to send regards in that moment. May she rest in peace and in God’s hands. My condolences to the Ungar family
