Jacqueline (Jackie) Engman
A memorial service for Jacqueline (Jackie) Engman, 87, West Plains, Missouri, will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, August 19, 2023, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.
Mrs. Engman passed away at 5:30 a.m., Friday, August 11, 2023, at her home surrounded by her family.
She was born March 26, 1936, at Halder, Wisconsin, to John and Lillian Kurtzweil Handrick. On July 6, 1957, she was married at Halder, Wisconsin to Richard (Dick) Engman, who preceded her in death on March 27, 2003. Jackie worked at the Mosinee Drug after graduating from Mosinee High School. She later worked for Wisconsin Telephone Co. in Wausau and worked many years for Dr. Earl McCandless. The family moved to West Plains, Missouri in 1976 when Dick transferred with Marathon Electric opening a new manufacturing facility. Jackie was always involved in church functions at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Wausau and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in West Plains. For the majority of her years in West Pains, Jackie helped care for hundreds of elderly individuals. Her caring and devotion was endless. Anyone who had the opportunity to enjoy her homemade cinnamon rolls and the many pies that she made for many funerals, bake sales and special occasions were in for a treat. Jackie was the “Go to Gal” for any function that needed biscuits, bread, ham and numerous other treats. Jackie never had “No” in her vocabulary when it came to helping anyone. Her generosity and caring will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially her family.
She is survived by her son, Randy Engman and wife, Julie, Blue Springs, Missouri; three grandchildren, Daulton Engman, Trae Engman and Hayden Engman; two brothers, Ted Handrick and wife, Ann, Green Bay, Wisconsin and Jason Handrick and wife, Kathie, Edgar, Wisconsin; many nieces and nephews; and two first cousins.
Her parents, husband, two brothers and two sisters-in-law, preceded her in death.
Memorial contributions may be made to Alzheimer’s Association or Helping Hands Home Health Agency and may be left at or mailed to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, 211 West Main, West Plains, MO 65775.

I will miss Jackie so very much, as we were “partners” in many ways. She was caretaker of my family members for years, and from there we became good friends.
She understood the importance of caring for someone in their own home with kindness and compassion. Of late her health prevented her and me from enjoying lunch together, I will miss those times. God speed Jackie, you were a special lady to all of us. Randy and Julie, my sincere sympathies to you and the boys.
