Obituary

Jack W. Enslen, 83, of South Beaver Township, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 6, 2026, with me, his loving wife of many years by his side.

Jack is survived by me, his loving wife, Judy; son, Jack R. Enslen and his wife Natalya of Ashburn, Virginia; cherished granddaughters, Jordan, Lindsey, and Becca; great-grandson, Cameron; sister, Shirley Park; sister-in-law, Sue Enslen, of Reno, Nevada; brothers and sisters-in-law, Jim and Cindy Richner and Mark and Jill Richner; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews and his faithful companion, Tazzie.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Mary Enslen; a brother, Roy Enslen, Jr.; and a sister, Marjorie Gehley.

Jack retired from Babcock and Wilcox Company after more than 25 years of faithful service.  He was proud to serve his community as a member of the Beaver County Democrat Committee and a member of Chippewa United Methodist Church.

To know Jack was to know a man whose heart belonged to his family.  He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandfather and great-grandfather, and a loyal friend.  There was never any doubt where his priorities lay – his family was his greatest joy and the center of his world.  I was blessed to share my life with a man who loved deeply, gave generously, and always put the people he cared about before himself.

Jack found happiness in the simple things.  He took great pride in keeping our home and property looking beautiful, often spending hours on his Kubota tractor mowing the lawn to country club standards.  He loved tinkering in his shed, fixing just about anything I managed to break, and taking his quad for a ride whenever he had the chance.  He rarely sat still, and he was always willing to lend a hand to a neighbor, a friend, or anyone in need.  His kindness, dependability, and quiet strength touched so many lives.

Our family extends our heartfelt gratitude to Jack’s dear neighbors and friends – Paul and Susan Stepek, Marc and Raeann Grivna, Theresa Antoniazzi, and my sister-in-law, Jill Richner – for their unwavering friendship, kindness, and support during this difficult time.

We are also deeply grateful to the nurses and physicians in the CCU at AHN for the compassionate care they provided to Jack and the comfort and dignity they showed our family throughout his final days.

Jack leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories that will be treasured forever.  He will be deeply missed every day and lovingly missed always.

Friends and family will be welcomed on Friday, July 10^th from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., Chippewa Township, 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Jack’s name to the Beaver County Humane Society, 3394 Brodhead Road, Center Township, PA 15001.
