Jan Marie Engler

Our loving wife, mother and grandmother went home to be with the Lord on Monday, September 9, 2024. Age 70 years. 

Jan was born on February 6, 1954, daughter of the late Raymond and Jean (Vasey) Thon, in Saginaw. She married Phillip Engler on May 18, 1985. He survives her. Jan had a loving, compassionate heart and enjoyed her many years working as a Licensed Practical Nurse. In her younger years she worked countless hours at her father’s restaurant, Pete’s Grill. Jan was an avid reader, enjoyed flower gardening, bird watching, feeding the squirrels and listening to her favorite Neil Diamond music. Jan loved and cared for her family, cooking delicious meals and spending time with them. The memories of her being a strong, confident, selfless woman and a nurturing, caring mother will remain with those she loved. 

Jan is survived by her husband, Phillip Engler; children, Peter (Molly) Hull, Aaron (Lisa) Engler, Dustin Engler (Ivy Jacobs) and Cody (Jessica) Engler; Grandchildren, Oliver Engler, Otis Hull, Isabel Hull, Ella Smith, Nola Smith and Kayla Smith; sisters, Kathy (Dave) Brushaber and Debbie Harper; brothers, Curt (Maryann) Thon and Phil Thon; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends, including Maureen and Jim Haas. Jan was preceded in death by her brother, Tom Thon, sister-in-law, Patti Thon and brother-in-law, Don Harper.
