She is also survived by five sisters, Gladys McGee, Midge McGee, Janice Hill, Anne York and Carol Braswell; as well as three brothers, Theron, Cletus and Terry Huntley.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ben E. Watkins of Bishopville, S.C., one son, Lauren Watkins of Bishopville, S.C.; one sister, Alma Lee; and two brothers, Clyde and DeWayne Huntley.

Curtis and Michael, I am so sorry. I didn't know that she was sick until a few days before her death. I am so sorry. She was a sweet soft spoken wonderful lady.

Miss Enid was truly one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever had the honor of knowing. Her "boys" and their families continue to be in in my prayers.
