Obituary

Willie Eneks

63 a resident of Lincoln, Arkansas, passed away January 27, 2010 at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She was born December 25, 1946 in Knoxville, Iowa, the daughter of Merle and Hazel Stanton Williams.

Willie was a dedicated wife and mother of three, her greatest joy was in meeting people and creating things. She was forever engaging in crafty activities including crochet, macrame’, woodworking, hand-pierced lampshades, peach pit ducks, rice writing, blanket making, making gold leaf trees, and cooking. She also enjoyed making fudge and running her Krazy Kritter sand booth just so she could meet people and do some horse trading with other crafters. Her best times though were those spent with her grandchildren who she idolized. A consummate supporter of her children, she was fond of telling people that she had 24 years of PTA since the first two times she sent a child to kindergarten she decided to add to the family. She will be remembered in the hearts of her mother, brother, sisters and children, but most of all in her husband, Roy’s heart which she captured 41 years ago. She was a member of the Crafter's Guild of America and was part of the Founding Committee of the Lincoln Apple Festival.

Survivors include her husband of 41 years, Roy Douglas Eneks of the home; one son, Cory Lance Eneks of Columbia, Tennessee, two daughters, Danielle Whaley of Cement, Oklahoma and Kimberly Eneks-Plunk of Germantown, Tennessee; one brother, Steve Williams of Houston, Texas; two sisters, Junella Stone of Mesa, Arizona and Cindy Williams of Russellville, Arkansas; her mother, Hazel Williams of Lincoln, Arkansas; six grandchildren, Dakota, Paige, Jake, Skyler William, Hazel-Grace, Riley Faith.

Roy and family, when we heard about Willie we hurt for ourselves and for all of you. She was such a unique person; full of love, caring and generosity and just a shade on the ornery side in such a fun, teasing way. Willie always wanted to see how we all were as a family and then shared about all of you. She loved so deeply. Our prayers are for your peace and comfort. Shirley & Bobby Jack

Sister's Gone

We shared a bond of time and place,

Our lives entwined like threads of lace.

Her mother, my mother, her father, mine.

We shared a room, a space in time.

Same time and place in the Universe,

All things were shared with sister first.

Who will I share with from now on?

Sister's gone, Sister's gone!
