Anita Davison Engelman

Anita D. Engelman of Binghamton Departing this earthly existence Dec. 24, 2010, Anita is loving wife of Curtis L. Engelman; loving mother of Susan Lafergola, Vestal; Carl Mosch, Elmira; and David Mosch, Brackney, PA; and loving sister of Patricia and Lionel Savadove, New Hope, PA. Born Dec. 4, 1931, to Albert and Alice Taylor, Anita was raised by her aunt and uncle, Constance Taylor Davison and Robert L. Davison. She graduated Dwight Morrow High School, Englewood, NJ, and attended Elmira College. Anita worked for American LaFrance and Marine Midland before marrying Franklin Farley Mosch in 1951. She was blessed with three children, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Perhaps the most joyous, powerful and far-reaching event in Anita’s life was meeting Henry C. Kinley and her introduction in 1969 to his philosophy entitled "Elohim, the Archetype (Original) Pattern of the Universe." Anita was passionate about this teaching. In order to share with others the vital truths and the great beauty she had found, Anita left family and friends in Elmira in 1973. She relocated to New Jersey, the state of her birth, to begin a Class of which she was the Dean. Her steadfastness in this teaching never wavered. Funeral services will be private. In acknowledgement of Anita's burning concern for the welfare of every creature - 4-legged and two-legged - memorial contributions in Anita’s name may be made to www.PETA.org/donateor www.Amnesty.org. Now abideth Faith, Hope and Love, these three. And the greatest of these is Love. (ICor. 13:13)   What can I say?   After 35 years together, Anita is my best and closest friend.   Her smile when I came into her room, her wisdom, her clear sight and laser-sharp thinking, her love of the truth, her sense of humor and  ever-cheerfullness, her willingness to go the last mile and then another mile after that, her great caring ...  truly, I could easily go on and on.   Like a day in springtime when the sun shines and all the world is happy, so has Anita been for me.  Many of family and friends, in their well wishing, have told me what a good husband I was in caring for Anita the last few years.   There's an unspoken sentiment of "O, you sacrificed so much!"   Well, I'd like to set the story straight.   Ours was not an unbalanced relationship.  It is a mystery indeed how one compassed about by infirmity could sacrifice so very much for me!  Yet Anita did just that. It hurts now, not being able to hold hands or speak heart to heart.  But I am glad for this, my Honeybunch, that  you are free from the burden this existence had become.  And I'll always know that there is love in this life, because you were love unto me.~~ Curtis~~
