Roland Lee Ennis Sr.

Obituary Roland Lee Ennis, Sr., affectionately known as "Beefbone" to his family and friends, went home to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, December 12, 2019 at Genesis Healthcare Center in Salisbury, Maryland. Roland was born in Hebron, Maryland to the late Addie Ennis, also of Hebron, Maryland. He was mentored by his late uncles and grandmother Janie Ennis, whom he loved and cherished very much. Growing up in Hebron, he experienced the country life by raising chickens, chopping wood and planting and growing vegetables from the home garden. He looked forward to going to Philadelphia every summer to visit his late aunt Roxie. That was his getaway to experience the big city lights and to get all the fancy clothes he liked, so he could come back home and show off his new clothes! He loved to dress, loved nice cars, especially Cadillacs and was a very particular, neat, and private person. Roland completed his education at Salisbury High School, where he was a member of the Salisbury High School Marching band, blowing the trombone, which he loved to play. Roland was employed at Dealers Building Supply Corporation as a Truck Driver. Roland leaves to cherish precious memories: one brother, James Ennis of Cambridge, Maryland; his children, Pamela Boston (Samuel) of Edgewater Park, New Jersey; Roland Ennis, Jr. of Pennsauken, New Jersey and Keith Ennis (Margarita) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Andre Ennis (Laurie) of Sicklerville, New Jersey; son-in-law, Keenan Johnson of Aberdeen, Maryland; 11 grandchildren; 23 great grandchildren; two nephews, Kevin Kellam of Baltimore, Maryland and Peter Kellam, Jr. of Blackwood, New Jersey; one niece, Juanita Kellam of Baltimore Maryland and a host of great nieces and nephews, loving cousins and wonderful friends. Roland’s family at one time included: one sister, Legathia Kellam; one brother, Sylvester Ennis; his loving daughter, Shelia Ennis; loving daughter, Eloise Johnson and his loving companion of thirty (30) plus years, Annabelle Gale and divorced wife, Florence Ennis, all of whom preceded him in death. We are going to miss you Roland and although you were taken from us, we know that you made your peace with God and He took you home with Him! We love you and we realize NO MORE PAIN! Sorrowfully Submitted ~ The Family
