Ms. Enid was born on December 8, 1927, St. Ann, Jamaica, and was raised by her mother, Elma in Kingston for most of her young adult life. She and her husband, Eugene, migrated with all the children to New York in 1969. Their home at Anderson Road in Queens, New York provided shelter and succour not only for the family but for the many friends and family who also lived there or visited regularly. It was the haven and stepping stone for many who migrated from Jamaica and just needed a place to 'kotch' until they got on their feet. It was a warm house always filled with family and friend, music and dancing. She relocated to West Palm Beach about 9 years ago. Her liveliness, sharp wit and caring left an indelible mark on everyone she met.
