Ernestine was born April 13, 1929, to Thomas W. and Curley J. Collins Evans of Allensville, AL. She accepted Christ at an early age, joining Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church of Allensville. Her faith and dedication in God endured until her home going departure.

In addition, her service includes active membership in a number of local and national organization in the communities in which she resided, including the National Education Association, Alpha Delta Kappa, A.B.W.A. and the Aurora Actionaires.
