I knew her briefly when we were 18. This is one of those starling coincidents. I’ve never knew much about her after that and rarely thought about her. But tonight I did and just logged in 1959 and Kenosha and her name and it led me to this obituary on the day of her funeral! My remembrance of her is that she was pretty, sincere and had a vibrant personality.

I am so sad to hear about Doreen’s passing. I spent most of my childhood days at the Engel house playing with Rachael and Ronnie. She was like a second mother to me. In fact, I called Rachael, my partway sister because she truly felt like the sister I always wanted. Mrs. Engel was like a mother to me, caring, compassionate, and gentle. I attended many sleepovers and birthday parties there. She made me feel like part of her family and was a dear, trusted best friend to my mother, Gail...
