Engles was a 1956 graduate of Caddo High School. After her death in September 2020, her family created a scholarship fund to honor her memory and legacy as a professional educator. She retired from Southeastern Oklahoma State University as a tenured professor and distinguished faculty member of the Education and Psychology Department. The Anita Jeanette Engles Foundation is a nonprofit organization with the sole purpose to assist Caddo High School graduates in their education through college or technical school. As a high school teacher and college professor for more than 30 years, Engles provided guidance and was a positive influence to countless students. Her own experience at Caddo High School and the lifetime friends she made inspired her family and friends to start this scholarship fund.
