She played parts in numerous television shows over her career, including “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “Hot in Cleveland.”
A friend of actress told The New York Times that Engel's cause of death was undetermined because she was a Christian Scientist and did not see doctors.
She was born in Washington, D.C. and graduated from high school in Bethesda, Maryland. She earned a college degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and is survived by two sisters.
