Rules question, I had to use Abigale, Eloquent First-Year on my opponent's Enduring Tenacity to stop infinite life gain/loss. Later on the Tenacity died in combat. Would it come back as an enchantment? We settled on "yes" because once it hit the graveyard it wouldn't be affected by Abigale anymore, and would see it was a creature that died so it would trigger. But we weren't sure if it wouldn't trigger because of last known information when it died or something like that.

No. Dies triggers "look back in time" to see how the permanent existed on the battlefield to determine if it should trigger. And, at that time, it was a creature with no abilities so it had no triggered ability. It is why it can tell it wasn't a creature (when that comes up) so it doesn't return after returning once before.
