Another soldier for Christ has been laid to rest. Sister Rosli Incze passed away peacefully on March 12, 2021 surrounded by her three beloved children (Bela, Peter and Giselle).
Rosli was born on February 3, 1933 in Herisau, Switzerland. She is the youngest sister to Nelli Ringelberg, Bertie Hietkamp, Walter, Hans and Adolf Schoch. As a young adult she moved to England and was staying there with her sister Nelli. While in England, Nelli met her future husband, M.P. Ringelberg. Marinus Ringelberg introduced Nelli and Rosli to the International Missionary Society, Seventh-day Adventist Church Reform Movement. Both of them were baptized into the church (as were some of their other siblings also).
In 1954, at the age of 22, Sister Rosli went to Germany to attend the mission school. She was put in charge of the women that attended. Since she could speak English she was commissioned upon to teach the other students the English language. It was here that she met Leila McTavish and the two of them became lifelong friends after this. The two of them spent many hours canvassing together while in mission school.
Rosli became a faithful canvasser for the church and moved to Canada on January 30, 1960 where she continued canvassing.
Sister Rosli was always very strict in the health reform message. She loved to help people and studied to become a massage therapist in Canada. She received her diploma for massage therapy on November 1960. She met her husband at the massage school and they were married on January 1962 in London, Ontario. The two of them owned and ran a massage clinic, while raising three children. After her husband passed away from cancer in 1977 Rosli moved to Kitchener, Ontario with her children to be closer to the church.
Through her continued work of massage, she was able to support herself and raise her children and be a blessing for many people.
In her later years, well after she retired, she moved to the Hamilton area and attended the Hamilton church every week until she was unable to care for herself and needed to be cared for, first in the hospital and then in a nursing home.
Rosli often used to mention that she sang in a choir when younger and she missed this here in the local Hamilton church. When singing in church one could clearly hear her beautiful strong alto voice. She loved to sing and the the members of the Hamilton church often sang with her when visiting her in the hospital.
Sister Rosli was always fiercely independent and had an adventurous spirit, and she loved the Lord. She died in the faith and we look forward to meeting her again on the resurrection morning.
