Mr. Darrell J. Englebert

Darrell Joseph Englebert, Green Bay, died Sunday, February 21, 2021, at the age of 78 with his wife by his side. He was born in Green Bay on January 5, 1943, to the late Willard and Violet (Henricks) Englebert. An animated storyteller, Darrell often talked of his childhood, spending summers on his grandparents’ farm and sneaking into Packers games at City Stadium. He attended St. Peter & Paul Grade School and graduated from Premontre High School in 1961. On August 4, 1962, he married the former Marjorie Kornowski at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Darrell brought his admirable work ethic and smart mind to Procter & Gamble in 1962 and worked to achieve pipefitter status. For over 36 years “Bert” used and shared his technical know-how, enjoyed the camaraderie of his coworkers and won countless games of cribbage. He took early retirement in 1998, freeing him to travel the country and enjoy time with his family. Darrell shared his warm smile and welcoming generosity widely, but especially with his beloved wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He beamed with pride in their presence, celebrated their academic, athletic and artistic feats, and was always the sought-after playmate. A devout Catholic and kind-hearted gentleman, he was a source of great fun, great knowledge, and great hugs. He took incredible care of everyone and everything — from his elderly father to his automobiles to his parish church — and never stopped short of a job well done. He enjoyed basking in warm weather, watching old movies, driving like Dale Earnhardt (same initials!) and cheering on the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay women’s basketball team. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 58 years, Margie (Kornowski); his three children and their spouses, Jeff (Meredith) Englebert, Corning, NY; Steve (Virginia) Englebert, Green Bay, WI; and Laura (Chris) Lowe, Madison, WI; seven grandchildren, Amber Englebert, Stephanie (Eric) Mattos, Vicki (Jaymes) Black, April Englebert, Jonathan Englebert, Christopher Englebert, and Violet Englebert; five great-grandchildren; his sister Terri (Bill) Ritchay; brothers-in-law Bill (Kathy) Kornowski, Larry (Donna) Kornowski, Richard (Lynn) Kornowski, David (Kathy) Kornowski, Steve (Eileen) Kornowski, Mark (Julie) Kornowski, and Pat (Andrea) Kornowski; sisters-in-law Bonnie Englebert and Kay (Ron) Lealiou; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother, Willard Englebert, Jr., his sister Patricia Albers and her husband Jerry. A private Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Philip the Apostle Church, 312 Victoria Street. His family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to Paul's Pantry, 520 Leo Frigo Dr, Green Bay, WI 54302, or online at http://www.paulspantry.org. The Englebert family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff at Unity Hospice and Sister Helen for their kind care of Darrell during his final days.
