Shirley Engen Obituary
Mrs. Shirley Ann Engen, 87, Culpeper, Virginia, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, October 25, 2012.
Mrs. Engen was a former teacher and as such, she had an innovative, faith-based lesson plan for life. Mrs. Engen was born on August 12, 1925, in Wisconsin, to the late Arnold and Ruth Johnson Biederman. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by brothers and sisters. Mrs. Engen was a beloved wife, mother and grandmother and is survived by her husband of 64 years, Harvey Engen of Culpeper, Virginia; daughters, Sherrie Mack of Chicago, Illinois, Marcia Vixie of Wenatchee, Washington; sons, Steve Engen of Culpeper, Virginia, and David Engen of Ogden, Utah; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the Culpeper Christian Fellowship, 15460 Bradford Road, Culpeper, Virginia, 2 p.m. Sunday, October 28, 2012.
It is the family's desire that memorial contributions be given to the Culpeper Christian Fellowship Building Fund. Clore-English Funeral Home has been entrusted with these arrangements.

My sincere sympathy to the family of a great lady. My son, Murphy Stine, and I were in many plays that Mrs. Engen wrote and directed when she attended St. Luke's Lutheran Church. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Engen and their family.
