Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend Susan Ann Englert, 70, of Salina, Kansas, passed away at home on February 7th, 2026.
Born in Peterborough, England on September 20, 1955, Susan grew up in the San Diego area, where she met her husband, Ed, before settling in Salina. She was a loving mother to her son and a devoted foster parent through OCCK. Her kindness extended beyond her family, always lending a listening ear to friends or a stranger she met at the thrift store. Professionally, Susan was a jack of all trades, working as a clerk at Kmart and Office Max, a dental assistant in 2009, a butcher, and a house cleaner before her retirement.
Anyone who knew her knew she loved the ocean. As a creative, she enjoyed crafting and sewing. But above all, Susan cherished her family, who brought her endless joy. She was a faithful member of Kingdom Hall.
She is preceded in death by her father Ralph C. Miesen; stepfather, Ben Goss; grandmother, Helen Hulshezer; sister-in-law, Esther McMurtrie; daughter-in-law, Paige Englert; and mother, Chris Waller.
Surviving family members include her husband of 47 years, Ed Englert; son, Tony Englert (Paige) of Salina, KS; grandson, Sean Englert (Ashley) and their children, Ariana and Kyler of Wichita, KS; grandson, Kyle Englert (Ashley) and their children, Azaria and Jakobi of Wichita, KS; granddaughter, Madison Englert of Austin, TX; sister, Tammy Leiker (John) of Ellis, KS; sister, Laura Arbogast (John) of Josephine, TX; brother, Rick Goss of Spokane, WA; in-laws, Carol Dindinger of Charles Town, WV; Karen and Paul Dexter of Trimble, MO; Vaughn McMurtrie of Hays, KS; Chris and Jeff Schlyer of Hays, KS; Kelly and Kelly Englert of Mansfield, TX; stepfather, Walt Waller of Ellis, KS; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Susan’s legacy of love and compassion will be carried on through those who had the privilege to call her family or friend. Her warmth, generosity, and infectious laughter will be forever remembered.
