1941 - 2005
Ena Rabsatt was born on Tortola, British Virgin Islands on February 16, 1941. She was the last of six children of Alexander and Roselphine Agusta Maduro Jennings of Baughers Bay.
Ena always said she didn't believe in eulogies that took too long; just a short one would do. What was most important to Ena was her service to the Lord. This included reading her bible each and every day. She would read morning, noon and night. She was sure to stress that she was not "just" reading the bible, but digesting each and every word for it was food for her soul.
Ena attended school in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. She left there and went to St. Thomas where she worked very hard and retired after 20 years as a Food Service Worker with the Department of Education. What made her most happy was when she dedicated her life to Christ. She would often say, “I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, for I know my help cometh from the Lord.”
Ena was married to Albato E. Rabsatt for 17 years and three daughters were born of this union. She was a devoted mother to Melissa, Carol and Maxcine. She was always very careful with the way she treated people, for she wanted to be treated good herself. She lived by the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." She would often extend greater care to others than she did to herself. The Lord has surely rewarded her and now she has gone to be with Him to rest in peace.
Survivors
Left to cherish her memory are her three daughters, Melissa Rabsatt Josiah, Carol Rabsatt, and Maxcine Campbell, sons-in-law, Sylvon “Eric” Josiah and Hubert Paul Campbell, grandchildren, Chad and Andre Josiah and Tyree Campbell, sisters Rhoda Morton, Albertha S. Mercer, Elvina Garcia Jennings and Urlin Richardson, brother, Dennis Jennings, sisters-in-love, Janet Jennings and Rita Thomas, special friend Fequiere Demeran and lots of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
In addition to her parents and her “grandmother”, Gladys Abbott, she is also predeceased by her brother Granger Jennings.

My darling and wonderful Aunt Ena was such a special person to my sister and I. I remember the Christmas times where we would dance and eat her famous tarts and sweet bread. I will always keep you in my heart and I can't wait to give you a big hug the next we meet and dance in the kingdom of our maker.

Melissa, Carol, and Maxcine,
What can I say! A life well lived, an aunt well loved and several lessons that she taught that will be a part of my life forever. Just being there for Aunty Ena and you all was another fulfillment of my life's goal...to be there when it matters most and be Jesus with skin on for others who are hurting and need encouragment. God Bless you all and know that I'm still here for you all.

Our earthly loss is her heavenly gain! That knowledge and the many precious memories allow us all to smile at the legacy of strength, bravery, and steadfastness our dear aunt left. I remain thankful of the gift of time we had with her, the relationship we shared, and the opportunities to fellowship together.
