Earline Bunch was born on February 6, 1947, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to the late Oscar and Mary Bunch. She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Pleasant Valley M. B. Church under the hands of Pastor E. D. Straughter.

She attended Kings School Elementary in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where she loved to sing and was a dedicated member of a group called The Bunch Sisters. She was the sweetest, kindest, compassionate, loving, and most giving person you could ever meet.
