On Monday, October 17, 2005 God reached out His hand surely saying, Well done 
thou good and faithful servant, and led Elmer "Penny" Engel to the eternal 
home. Penny lived just 4 weeks short of his 94th birthday. Penny started life 
in Corn, Oklahoma. He received his teaching credential from Southwestern 
Teachers College. Pennys avocation was teaching, in the classroom, on the 
athletic field, in Sunday School, in the church and school board rooms. His 
quiet gentle manner provided rock solid lessons in life for all he touched.

high school principal. In 1949 he began teaching 7th and 8th grades at Maple 
School staying until 1969. He ended his teaching career at Maricopa Elementary 
1969-1974. With his wife, Velina, Penny had the privilege of working at Hume 
Lake Christian Camp for 20 summers. Penny leaves behind a wonderful legacy of 
family and friends including his wife of 69 years, Velina (Reimer) Engel; son, 
Jim Engel and wife, Leasa; daughter, Nancy Kliewer and husband, Jim; 4 
grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great-granddaughter and his

looking forward to the glorious reunion.
