She was born in the city of Orsha, in what was then the Soviet Union, on October 6, 1942. She emigrated with her family first to Germany and then eventually to New Jersey. She attended Rutgers University and graduated from Ambassador College, where she met her husband and the love of her life, Oswald G. Engelbart. As a couple, they ministered to congregations for the Worldwide and United Churches of God for 32 years. She had the opportunity to live many places in the United States, including Texas, Pennsylvania, California, and Colorado, before settling in Bella Vista in 2017. She loved travel, reading, and above all – God and her family.

Engelbart (Randy Hooser) and six grandchildren: Seth Bader, Cameron Clark, Alex Engelbart, Caden Clark, Annabelle Engelbart, and Rylie Hooser.
