Anita Joyce Husvick Curry September 2, 1925 – April 6, 2013

Anita Curry died peacefully in her sleep at Covenant Shores on Mercer Island on April 6, 2013. She was born Anita Joyce Husvick in Ballard, WA, to Arthur and Molly Husvick, and was the middle of three sisters. She wanted to be an artist from an early age, and worked for a time at Frederick and Nelson department store in their window display department. After high school, she moved to California where she also worked as an artist. She later went to Chicago to attend the Art Institute of Chicago, and it was there that she met her husband, Dave Curry, who was also attending school there. They were married for 37 years before he passed away in 1984. Anita and Dave lived for a time in California before settling in the Seattle area, and in 1955 they bought and later built a house on Mercer Island and raised four children. Anita enjoyed the fine arts and was involved in MIVAL, and had a figure workshop through the M.I. Parks and Recreation Department for many years. She also enjoyed swimming at Mary Wayte pool, traveling, investing in the stock market, and reading the newspaper. She continued to do the crossword puzzle with her close friend nearly every day until the last. Anita always wanted to remain living on Mercer Island, and in 2011 she moved to Covenant Shores due to her health, where she lived very comfortably and had a beautiful view of the lake. Anita never lost her sense of humor. Family was always important to her. She leaves behind two sons, two daughters, three grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and a sister.
