Enid moved to Antigua, West Indies at 3yrs old where she resided until the age of 22.

As a child, Enid was quiet and timid, but very friendly.  She was very close with "Mother" (her grandmother) and sisters growing up.  Enid attended Thomas Oliver Robinson (TOR) Memorial HS in Antigua, WI where she graduated in 1942.  After graduation,  she studied nursing at Holberton Hospital in Antigua.
