Eugene Ennis Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Eugene Ennis was born in Huntsville, TX on December 15, 1935 to Daley and Mable Ennis. He was called to eternal life on August 28, 2020 after a hard-fought battle with several health issues that many times only slowed him down from doing the things he truly loved. He was known as a man of very few words, but his kindness spread all over the town. He was quiet, reserved, respectful and a person many always enjoyed being around, even if it was only a few minutes. He was a great husband, father, brother, uncle, neighbor and friend. Eugene Ennis started working at an early age, a teenager that had many hidden talents. He started out working for The Townleys, a well-known family in town. He did odd jobs around the house and was with them until they moved. He worked in construction and later for The Windham School System as a Maintenance Supervisor prior to his retirement in 2001. Even retired he still would do odd jobs to make ends meet and take care of his family. One of his most enjoyable jobs was as the “bus-driver” for his grand-daughters Velanie and Brittney. Eugene will be lovingly remembered by his two children Bobby Gene Ennis (Huntsville, TX) and Shirley Ann Ennis (Spring, TX); Daughter-in-Law, Hida Ennis; Grandchildren, Velanie Gilbert, Curtis (CJ) Shorts, Brittney Ennis, Joshua Ennis and Jada Ennis; two great grandchildren, Jaylon and Koriee Shorts. He is preceded in death by his parents, Daley and Mable Jones Ennis; Wife Millie Davis Ennis; sisters Ruth Johnson, Lessie Dickey, Johnnie Mae McNeese, Frances Wilson; brothers Ezekiel Herbert Morgan; Albert Morgan and Ray Ennis and a host of relatives and friends.
