Obituary

Catherine Ann "Cathy" (DelPrete) Engledow, 66, of Lancaster, PA passed away on Thursday, November 18, 2016 at home after a determined effort to live with the complications and treatments for stage IV cancer of the abdomen. Cathy was the wife of James Lee "Jim" Engledow and had recently celebrated 46 wonderful years of marriage on August 1, 2016. Cathy was the mother of Nicole E. Matthews, Lancaster and Wells M. Engledow, Arlington, VA married to Lynne Hewitt Engledow with a son, Reid W. Engledow. Reid is the only grandchild for both the Engledow and Hewitt families, and held an especially close relationship with his Grandma Cathy. Cathy was born in Elkhart, IN on January 16, 1950. The daughter of Donato "Danny" DelPrete and the late Florence (Troyer) DelPrete of Elkhart, IN, she was the number 2 child of 11 children born to Florence and Danny. Cathy is survived by six sisters: Cecilia Jacobs, Elkhart, IN, Zita (Bob) Melvin, Bristol, IN, Therese (Jim) Kress, Indianapolis, IN, Germaine (Bob) Jados, Traverse City, MI; Agnes (Tom) Marcuzzo, Omaha, NE; and Desiree (Keith) Misciagna, Park Ridge, NJ. These six sisters will serve as pallbearers for Cathy. Cathy was preceded in death by a sister, Virginia "Birry" (Tim) Nicolini, Mishawaka, IN. She is survived by three brothers: Donato (Maria) DelPrete, Ocala, FL; Lucio (Mary Ann) DelPrete, Mishawaka, IN; and Vincent (Lisa) DelPrete, Granger, IN. In addition, Cathy is survived by 30 nieces and nephews. Cathy attended Indiana University, Bloomington and Indianapolis, IN and graduated from Millersville University, Millersville, PA with a Bachelor of Art degree in Social Work with honors. Additional she earned her Master of Social Work degree from Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. She was employed by Lancaster General Hospital, Lancaster, PA for nearly 25 years. She was the Trauma Social Worker and the Manager of the Social Work Department for the last 20 years. Her illness led to her early retirement from a role she dearly loved in medical social work. While having volunteered in many roles over her 46 years in Lancaster, during the last 2 years of Cathy's illness, she had participated with a group of individuals from St. John Neumann Catholic Church to provide a weekly mass/prayer service for residents of the Lancashire Hall Nursing facility in Neffsville, PA.
