Eneldani would dedicate her life to being a humble selfless educator writing and publishing many books. Being a true trailblazer, she worked as a bible worker in Southern CA Conference and was a key force in revitalizing the Westside SDA Church under the leadership of Pastor Thomas Derrick. She found not a role beneath her, willing to wear any hat that would help build the kingdom. She was known for giving nicknames to those dear to her heart: Big Sister Little Sister ,and If one would ask how she was doing; she would reply “I’m in the fair lane. 

She didn’t let the grass grown under her feet, she would often shout bold with a fist “Stand up for your Rights” using that very same hand to write and draw children illustrations reaching and teaching God’s most precious. Music was in her blood, oh how she loved to sing and play the piano. Education was her passion and she stressed being on time while being a faithful member of the of the Praise fellowship church.
