Obituary

Born: July 12, 1971 – Riverton, Wyoming
Passed Away: May 18, 2025 – Billings, Montana

With profound sadness but deep gratitude for the life she lived, we announce the passing of Carol Lynn Engle, who went to heaven to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on May 18, 2025. She was surrounded by family, embraced in love, and comforted by her unwavering faith.

Carol was the cherished daughter of Karl and Donna Hunt of Sheridan, Wyoming, and the beloved sister of David (Debbie), John (Kelli), and Jeffrey (Kim). She grew up surrounded by the loving—and teasing—energy of her brothers, a bond always filled with laughter. She was also blessed with a wonderful extended family, including her mother-in-law Betty Jean Norregaard, father-in-law Elton Engle, stepmother-in-law Dee Engle, and brothers-in-law Neil Engle and Eric (Kassy) Engle.

On January 14, 2000, Carol married her best friend and love, Justin “Tak” Engle, in Las Vegas, where they began their life together before settling in Montana. Their marriage was rooted in love, laughter, and adventure. Together, they cared for their beloved dogs—at one point, eight cherished companions.

Carol graduated from Sheridan High School in 1989 as co-valedictorian and a state champion in tennis doubles. She then earned her business degree from the University of Wyoming before pursuing her master's degree in Physical Therapy at University of Iowa.

For 24 years, Carol dedicated herself to St. Vincent’s Outpatient Clinic, specializing in vestibular balance as a Physical Therapist. Her expertise and compassion helped countless patients regain stability and confidence, leaving a lasting impact in her field.

Carol embraced life fully, with a deep love for the mountains. She found joy in riding motorcycles through the Big Horn Mountains, camping and fishing in their beauty, and playing the violin with passion. She was an animal lover to the core, cherishing her daily walks with her Saint Bernard herd.

One of Carol’s greatest desires was to see her friends have and develop a relationship with Jesus. She shared Jesus with most people she met, always offering kindness, encouragement, and faith.

Carol had an amazing heart and a smile known by anyone who had the blessing of meeting her. Her kindness and joy were infectious, radiating warmth to all who knew her.

A celebration of Carol’s life will be held at 2 pm on Friday, June 20th, at the Bethesda Worship Center in Sheridan, WY. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice in her honor.

Carol will forever be remembered for her passion for life, her devotion to family and friends, and the faith that carried her through every challenge with grace.

Spud was a bright light in this world. From her big smile to her love for people, she left a mark on this world that will be deeply missed. One of my fondest memories was hanging with her and Tak in Las Vegas when they bought their new home. She left the world too soon. Rest easy, Spud.

Hunt and Engle Families- we are praying for you all with the loss of your sweet and spunky Carole but oh how heaven must be rejoicing. Carole was a blessing to all who knew her and even while asking me for prayer over the years, she ALWAYS started with asking how my family was. We can all learn so many lessons from her life and grace through trial seems to be one of the top.
