She lived in in the Quad-cities for many years. She was an avid participant in the “In Touch” program for seniors. She was well loved there by all who knew her, especially, those who were touched by her outgoing personality and singing. In 1984, she joined First Paradise Baptist Church, Rock Island, Rev. Juanita McAdams, Pastor, two years after it was organized and remained a faithful member there until her departure. For almost a quarter century many were blessed to hear her inspirational singing of such favorites as “What Is This”, “Stand By Me”, and “The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow”. Earnestine will be missed but never forgotten. She is survived by her numerous friends.
