Stephanie Engle

Stephanie Lynne Engle passed away on Saturday, October 25th, 2025, in Pocatello, Idaho at the age of 53 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Stephanie was born on April 16th, 1972, in Pocatello, Idaho to Ivan May and Patricia May (Hocking).

She graduated in 1990 from Highland High School where she was a member of the drill team. In 1996, she gave birth to her first son, Daniel, and in 1997 gave birth to a second

son, Tyler. In 2001, She gave birth to her daughter Ashley. While raising her children, she received a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Idaho State University.

She spent almost 20 years as a teacher, most of which was spent teaching first grade at Mountain View Elementary in McCammon, Idaho, and her last 3 years teaching third grade at Mackay Elementary in Mackay Idaho. She was a passionate teacher and was deeply vested in the education of all her students. She went above and beyond and was always willing to spend the extra time and energy making sure all her students were excelling. Many of her first students would still check in with her years later. The only passion that was more important than teaching was being a mom. She always put her children first, even as adults, and nothing brought her more joy than time with the family, no matter what they were doing. Many of her hobbies matched the hobbies of her children because she wanted to do as much as possible with them. She enjoyed hiking, hunting, fishing, and most of all camping trips with her family. Being outside in nature always put a smile on her face. She was the second mom to many, and the more people that she cooked for the better. She also loved playing games, whether it was board games with the family or throwing darts with friends she just enjoyed being around people she loved. She will be remembered for her smile, laughter, positivity, and for all the lives she impacted.

Stephanie was preceded in death by both of her parents. She is survived by her brother Greg May, her 3 children: Daniel Mathis (Rosie), Tyler Mathis, and Ashley Barnhard (Nick), and her beloved fur babies Whitie and Max.

Graveside services will be held at 1:00 pm on November 8, 2025, at Mt. McCaleb Cemetery in Mackay, Idaho with a lunch and celebration of her life to follow at L7 Grill and Taphouse. Arrangements are under the care of the Anderson Family Funeral Home.
