ENID CAROLINE EVANS

The funeral and celebration of the life of Enid was held at St. Johns Church, Tenby, on Friday, July 1, after she peacefully passed away on June 17, at Park House Nursing Home, aged 95.

She was laid to rest in Tenby New Cemetery, alongside her loving husband Wyndham, who predeceased her 10 years ago.

The service, which was conducted by her close friend and minister, the Rev. Nanette Lewis-Head, was based on music and flowers; the love of Enid’s life.

The large congregation joined with the family to sing Enid’s favourite hymns and listen to Bible readings and reminiscences, both loving and often funny tales of her very special life.

Enid was born in Neyland, the middle of three children of Sydney and Sarah James in March 1921. She and Wyndham were childhood sweethearts after meeting in Pembroke fair at just 15-years-old and were married in St. Andrew’s Church, Pembroke Dock, on July 26, 1941. At the time, Enid was an auxiliary hospital nurse, a profession that certainly came in useful as she raised her family of four boys.

Their first home was with Wyndham’s parents, Jack and Beatrice Evans in the Fountain Head Inn, Pentlepoir, before settling in their own home in Tenby.

In her early years, Enid was renowned for her fine soprano voice and competed successfully in eisteddfod and church competitions throughout the county of Pembrokeshire. She adored playing the piano, was a fine watercolour artist and a very gentle and humorous poet, with many of her close family receiving specially written pieces for their birthdays, weddings and christenings.

Enid leaves behind her four sons Graham, Philip, Jonathan, Andrew and their respective wives Sonia, Jacqueline, Maxina and Iris and their families which gave Enid 15 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, all of whom she adored.

As recognition of her love of nature, all the family and friends that attended her burial placed a rose on top of her coffin so she was buried, covered in flowers and the beautiful scent accompanied her as she rests in peace.

Any donations in Enid’s memory can be made to St. Johns Church, Tenby, c/o W. and M. J. Rossiter and Sons Ltd., The Old Rectory, The Norton, Tenby, who are carrying out the funeral arrangements.
