Enid & Clyde and a growing family lived in N.Y., Kansas, Connecticut, and California, finally settling in Fayetteville, Ark., in 1969. Reading her Bible daily was a loved activity of Enid's, as was the old art of letter writing. She was a great cook, passing Kansas recipes down to her family. Needlework and knitting were favorite hobbies, and in later years as she slowed down, she enjoyed watching & identifying birds from her window. A private graveside service was held on Friday, October 12, 2018 at Mt. Comfort Cemetery in Fayetteville under the direction of Moore's Funeral Chapel.
