Remembering Deanna Engelman

Deanna Lynn Engelman, age 46, of Allendale, went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Tom and Clara Kurek, Ed and Lorraine Nowak; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Frank and Maryanne Engelman. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 14 years, Erik Engelman; children, Kyle Boonstra, Morgan Engelman, and Kennedy Engelman; parents, Tim and Linda Kurek; many relatives and friends. Deanna graduated from Kenowa Hills High School in 1994. She started her own title company, IronGate Title Agency. She loved camping, tubing, and hanging out with friends, but Deanna’s favorite activity was anything to do with gambling or going to a casino. A prayer service will be held on Friday, March 24, at 5 p.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf, 6651 Scott St., Allendale. Relatives and friends may meet the family Friday, from 5-8 p.m. and Saturday, March 25, from 3-6 p.m. at the funeral home. The burial will be held at Allendale Township Cemetery. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Shields of Hope.

My heart aches for you Aunt Linda, Uncle Tim, and Eric, Kyle, Morgan and Kennedy, as well as for the entire Nowak, Kurek and Engleman families. We all will miss our sweet Deanna dearly. I write this with tears in my eyes and a very heavy heart, but I know I was so blessed to be her cousin and to just know her. She will be remembered as the beautiful, talented, intelligent, loving, outgoing, fun-loving, kind, bright light she is. May God bless you all and bring you comfort during such a heartbreaking time. I am keeping everyone in my heart and prayers and will hold on dearly to all of the happy memories I was blessed to have with Deanna. -Kim Nowak
