Stephen H. “Steve” Engle, 70, of Manheim, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Hospice and Community Care, Mount Joy, surrounded by the love of his family. Born in Lancaster, Steve was the beloved son of the late Kenneth R. and Nancy Kimm Engle. He was the devoted fiancé of Sharon Armstrong of Manheim.
A 1974 graduate of Manheim Central High School, Steve continued his education at the Pennsylvania School of Banking and the Banking Administration Institute. He dedicated more than 40 years of his life to a successful career in banking, serving in administrative roles at Manheim National Bank, later known as Susquehanna Bank. Through his work, Steve took great pride in helping friends, neighbors, and families in the community he loved so deeply. He also generously volunteered his time as financial secretary for the former Manheim Relief Association.
Steve was an active and engaged member of the Manheim community. He belonged to the Manheim Jaycees and the Germania Band Club of Manheim. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed fishing and was a member of the Dela-Ches Fishing Association and a lifetime member of the Elstonville Sportsman’s Association. Cycling was a lifelong passion, and Steve could often be found riding long distances throughout Central Pennsylvania with friends or participating in organized cycling events.
Above all else, Steve loved his family and his hometown of Manheim. He was grateful for the many friendships he built over a lifetime and thankful for the opportunity to give back to the place that meant so much to him.
Surviving in addition to his fiancée Sharon, is a son, Benjamin T. husband of Morgan Engle of Manheim, three granddaughters: Madison, Harper, Tatum, three sisters: Kimberly Ann wife of Tim Bausher of Bethel, Georgiann Engle and Heather Welsh both of Manheim, and two brothers: Kenneth Scott husband of Wendy Engle of Manheim, Wesley husband of Jennifer Rineer of Manheim, and nieces and nephews. Steve will be lovingly missed by his beloved dog, Lightning.
