Shirley Enis Obituary
October 6, 1938 - April 6, 2024
Fort Worth, Texas - Shirley Dawn Enis passed away peacefully at home on April 6, 2024 with her loving family by her side.
She was born in Paducah, Texas on October 6, 1938 to Robert and Mae Witt, but eventually made her way to Fort Worth where she went to Poly High School and graduated in 1956.
Immediately out of high school she went to work as a legal secretary and continued until she retired in 1982. She served as President of the Fort Worth Legal Secretaries Association and was Legal Secretary of the Year for Fort Worth and served as Public Relations Director for the Texas Association of Legal Secretaries. During this time, she made many wonderful friends that she maintained for the rest of her life.
Some of the happiest times of her life began when she married her husband, Hunter Enis in 1982. They had known each other since Poly High School and what started as a high school crush ultimately developed into the most amazing love story that spanned nearly 42 years. Once they found each other again, they began to build a legacy of memories that will forever bind their friends and families together.
Among those memories is the formation of Four Sevens Oil Company with long time friends, Dick and Mary Lowe, and partners Brad Cunningham and Larry Brogdon. Shirley and Hunter enjoyed many wonderful vacations with family and friends.
In addition to being "movie star good looking" as Hunter liked to say, she had a quirky sense of humor, an infectious smile and loved to laugh.
She is survived by her husband of 41 years, Hunter Enis, daughters, Kelly Myers (Randy), Stacy Leonard (Ben), Jill Hall (Mike) and son, James Enis (Donna); grandchildren Cody Myers (Marissa), Kirby Myers (Lauren), Lauren Hall, Matthew Hall, Will Enis (Arden), and Ellie Enis, as well as 6 great grandchildren, Nora, Hazel, Warren, and Dean Enis, and Grace and Jack Myers.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 10:00 am at First Methodist Church in Fort Worth.
