Joanne Engle

Joanne Engle, 75, passed away peacefully on July 15, 2024.

Joanne was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. On August 15, 1970, she married the love of her life, James Engle. To this union their two children were born, Amy and Robert. Along with raising two children she pursued a career in cosmetology working as a beautician throughout her entire life. Later in life, she worked at Target for 11 years. Between the two she created many special connections and friendships throughout the years. She was ever grateful for those friendships and having the opportunity to put smiles on everyone’s faces.

Joanne enjoyed reading, traveling, crafting, and scrapbooking. Above all else, she treasured time spent with her family whom she loved deeply – her husband, children, grandchildren, parents and siblings.

Joanne is survived by her children Amy Engle and Robert (Jennifer) Engle; grandchildren Shelbi Engle (Justin Bruce), Hailey Engle and Jordan (Sheldon) Ellis; great-granddaughter Eleanor Ellis; sister Sue (Frank) Moyer; sisters-in-law Joan Arnett and Gertrude Phillips; and many other loving relatives and special friends.
