It was a tumultuous marriage due to Jackson’s infidelity and volatile behavior. They separated in 1984 and Enid filed for divorce, but they reconciled in 1985. In January 1986, Enid filed for divorce for the final time. She received a restraining order against Jackson after charging that he was physically abusive. Enid died from a brain aneurysm in 1997. They had two children:
