Jeane Engdahl
(nee Doris Jeane Leek)
Oct. 5, 1925-Nov. 14, 2007

Surrounded by her loving family, Jeane peacefully departed this earth
on November 14, 2007, after a long illness.  A long-term resident of
Campbell, California, Jeane was born in Huron, South Dakota, and lived
for many years in Salem, Oregon, where she met and married Rodney,
the love of her life.

Jeane is survived by her beloved husband of 58 years, Rodney Engdahl;
their four children, Kenneth Engdahl, Rodney Engdahl, Kathleen (Engdahl)
Werner and Dawn (Engdahl) Bauleke; loving daughters- in -law Margaret
Godley-Engdahl and Niki Canotas-Engdahl; son-in-law Roger Werner;
eight grandchildren (Amber Parker, Meryl Werner-Long, Sarah Werner,
Jeremy Werner, Jonathan Bauleke, Cory Engdahl, Laurel Godley-True and
Jeff Godley) and four great-grandchildren (Jade Parker, Christian Long,
Aiden Long and Tabitha Godley); her beloved brothers David Leek, Stewart
Leek and Marston Leek; beloved sister-in-law Julia (Engdahl) Rothrock
and Betty Dittmer; and brother-in-law Everett Hay.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Marshall Leek and Lilian Pearl
Leek; sister Grace (Leek) Hay; brother Elmer Leek and sisters-in-law Hazel
(Engdahl) Finell, Betty Leek and Anne Leek, and son-in-law Roger Bauleke.

Jeane and her husband, Rod, were a familiar sight, walking hand-in-hand
on their daily four-to-five-mile walk throughout Campbell.  Seeing how
obviously they cared for each other brought a smile to many a face.

Jeane has always been known for her community service, from being Den
Mother for Cub Scout Pack 75 (later 375) in the late 1950's, a Campfire
Mom during the 1960's, to later years when Jeane served as an officer
for the Campbell Country Women's Club and the First Congregational
Church of Campbell's Isabel Circle.  Jeane was also well-known for her
wonderful sense of humor and love of the English language.  Never idle,
Jeane knit and donated over 1,500 hats for premature babies to the Santa
Clara Valley Medical Center Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit, and over 1,200
hats for homeless people to the Montgomery Street Inn Men's Shelter over
the past fifteen years.

Please join us in a Celebration of Jeane's life on Saturday, November
24th, 2:00 p.m., at the First Congregational Church, 400 West Campbell
Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008.  In lieu of flowers, please continue her
tradition in giving to the Montgomery Street Inn Men's Shelter (358
N. Montgomery Street, San Jose, CA 95110), the Santa Clara Valley Medical
Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (751 S.  Bascom Ave, San Jose 95128)
or to the First Congregational Church of Campbell.
