Linda Irene Engel (Hauk), 66, originally of Shawano, was unexpectedly called home to heaven on July 11, 2016, in Naperville, Illinois, in connection with an automobile accident.

Linda was born in Shawano, daughter of late Arnold and Geraldine (Kort) Hauk on March 16, 1950. She attended Sacred Heart Elementary School, Shawano Junior High and went to high school at Shawano Senior High, graduating in 1968.

Linda was married to high school sweetheart Douglas Engel, also of Shawano, on Sept. 5, 1970, having known each other since early childhood. Following their marriage they lived in Oshkosh, Milwaukee and, for the last 27 years, Naperville.

Linda and Doug owned property in the Shawano area for the better part of the last 35 years and always called Shawano home. Linda loved to spend time in her gardens, had a “green thumb,” and always found a place for a wayward tree or flower in need of care. Tree frogs, toads, baby birds and all such manner of life were her friend. Her artistic bent always provided opportunities to craft something, and a roll of duct tape and some cardboard were sufficient tools to create many things. An unselfish provider and an exceptional cook, she happily made meals twice as big as the number of chairs at the table. But she will be remembered most as a caring and giving individual who was always there to help wherever, whenever asked.

Linda loved to travel and see new places and frequently joined Doug on business trips and post-retirement trips, including the East and West coasts, various parts of Europe and Africa.

Linda is survived by her husband, Doug Engel, of Naperville; son, Christopher Engel, of Franklin; three grandchildren, Sydney Elizabeth, Kristin Elaine and Natalie Grace; brother, Steve (Luella) Hauk, of Shawano; and brother, Daniel Hauk, of Beaver Dam.

A Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, July 16, 2016, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Shawano, starting at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Luke Ferris officiating. Visitation will be held at the Swedberg Funeral Home in Shawano on Friday, July 15, from 4-8 p.m. and again on Saturday at the church starting at 10 a.m.

Memorials may be directed to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Linda’s name.

Janice loved living in the northern woods of Wisconsin in Shawano County. She enjoyed bird watching, summer flowers, arts, crafts, country music and cowboy hats. She was an avid Green Bay Packers fan. She loved spending time with her family at picnics and reunions. In her earlier years, she enjoyed camping all over Michigan and Wisconsin while raising her children with her husband, Wayne.

Janice worked at Deltro Controls as a parts inspector for many years. She also was a home health aid helping other people, which she took great pride in. She absolutely loved taking pictures of family and her animals through the years! She also loved taking videos of family and family trips. Green and gold, and the red, white and blue were always important to her and what they stood for.

The family would like to extend their thanks to the caregivers and staff of Birch Hill Care Center for the care and compassion they showed Janice in her time of need.
