Enid "EJ" Foos, age 89, of Lincoln, NE passed away July 11, 2024. Enid June was born November 21, 1934, in a snowstorm on a farm outside of Ness City, KS to Emma (Schwartz) and Adam Walter.
Enid attended school in Ness City and graduated in 1952 from Bazine High School. Enid married Floyd Foos in the Methodist Church, Bazine on June 17, 1951. They had two daughters: Renee (Bill) Braun, and Tamera Pearson (Larry) Redfield.
Enid enjoyed doing ceramics, crocheting, reading and playing cards and she was an excellent skater either on the ice or the roller rink. As time passed EJ learned how to play the organ which she was so proud of. One of her favorites was coloring on her tablet and texting (talking on the phone) with her friends. Working as a para with little children was a job where both enjoyed one another. Floyd and Enid went on several tours after they retired as well as attended the Ness City Eagles school activities. Enid and Floyd were regulars at the Fort Hays State University home football and basketball games. Once Enid moved to Lincoln, NE she quickly realized being a Husker fan was mandatory! Although come basketball season Enid was a diehard KU Jayhawk (Bill Self) fan. Enid did have a good time attending the Husker volleyball, basketball and softball games. One of her highlights in 2022 was attending the Iowa State Fair where she rode the Tilt-A-Whirl (her favorite) and laughed heartily throughout the entire ride! Enid was Branden's baseball team's biggest fan for sure. EJ never met a stranger.
Enid had four grandchildren: Christopher (Allison) Braun, Tenille (Jeff) Parker, Chelsae (Chase) Braun and Branden (Erica) Pearson; seven great-grandchildren: MaKenzie, Devyn, Brynlee, Madison, Karlee (Josh), Paige and Ramsay; and one great-great grandchild: Eloise.
