Mrs. Earnestine L. Miles was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 12th, 1934, to the blessed and proud parents of Alberta Taylor and Willie Lewis. After graduating from Douglas Senior High School in 1952, she pursued a Nursing Degree in Kansas City, Missouri where she met and married Willie Lee Moore Jr., from this union came (3) children.

Moving on with her life, after retirement, Earnestine reconnects and is joined in Holy Matrimony with her "childhood sweetheart" Elvis S. Miles on July 7th, 1987; where after they built and lived their lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They spent 13 wonderful years together until his untimely death in 2003.

After the loss of her love, she grew closer to the Lord finding fellowship at Payne Chapel, where the members grew to love her and came to her side after she suffered a stroke in 2005. In the latter end of April 2016, meeting up with "health issues", Earnestine's health was threatened greatly and her desires where to be at home. In her last moments, she called on the name of the Lord, "Jesus"; quoting Psalms 23 in her sleep, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want", knowing that her time was near. She got her house in order and went out in "style".
