Obituary for Frank W. Enders
Frank W. Enders
Frank W. Enders, 89, of Woodway, Texas, passed away on July 11, 2018, at the VA Hospital. Cause of death is pending.
Viewing will begin 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, July 17th and military service will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the OakCrest Funeral Home chapel, 4520 Bosque Blvd., Waco, Texas.
Burial without any service at the cemetery will be private.
Frank was born August 21, 1928 in Penelope, Texas in the same house his father was born. His father was F. B. Enders and his mother, Ella M. Enders of Abbeville, Louisiana. He joined the Army in July of 1946 and returned to Waco after an honorable discharge.
He left Waco when he was 22 years old with $25 he borrowed from his older brother, Irvin Enders. He headed to Hollywood to become a star. A drunk driver out in west Texas ended his dream. He returned to Houston, Texas and met his wife Elwanda Haley. They were married in 1950 and became loving parents to Linda Gail.
Frank began working long hours to give his wife and daughter all of the opportunities that he didn’t receive. He worked hard, saved his money and worked his way up to success from machinist, real estate developer to trucking company owner. His wife of 40 years passed away in 1989, the same year he moved back to his beloved Waco.
Frank had a heart as big as Texas and bought and created Prairie Hill Raceway in Prairie Hill, Texas for enjoyment of the community. Frank was the youngest son of 13 siblings. Survivors include his daughter, Dr. Linda Enders Honeycutt, and his sisters; Emma Brinkman, Ruth Polanski, and Ruth Stratton.
