Marjean vonEngeln Obituary
She married Robert D. von Engeln on August 29, 1944 and happily traveled with him during his different assignment stations during WWII and was learning to become a pilot to surprise him. Marjean was a very accomplished artist in watercolor, oil and pastel. She was very humble regarding her talent.
She was a wonderful wife, a great mother and had many good friends but most of all enjoyed being with her husband, family and pets.
