Earline grew up in Waco, TX. She attended school in the Waco Public School System.

In 1959, she married T.G (Preacher) Miles. Together they ran a successful bar and grill establishment known as “Your Place” for over 30 years.

TRIBUTE:

Earline enjoyed designing, decorating, painting and watching plants/flowers that she nourished grow from one season to another. She had a keen eye for detail and a special connection with “Mother Nature”.

Earline was a caring person and would give her very last to those in need. She found it very difficult to ignore someone being mistreated or to bypass anyone that was in need of food or clothing.

Matthew 25:35

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;

Through all of her sufferings due to various illnesses throughout her life, Earline remained steadfast in the belief that God would help her to endure and that there would be a greater reward awaiting her in his house. Like Job, she did not blame God.

Earline was preceded in death by her husband T. G. (Preacher) Miles; her daughter Kathryn; sisters, Vera, Ruby and Ava; brothers, Hansel, Nathan and Gus.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughters, Debra Williams (Dr. Marvin) Neals, PhD of Hillsboro, MO, Jacqueline Williams-Miles of Scottsdale, AZ, step daughter, Francis White (Walter) of Lubbock, TX; sisters, Lela Coleman of Waco, TX, TeEtta Hall of Houston, TX and Verna Mae Widermyre of San Bernardino, CA; two devoted grandsons, Marcel (Darlene) Walker and Andrae (Angie) Walker; a devoted niece, Evelyn Polk of Dallas, TX and three special nephews, Dwight Coleman of Athens, TX, Donald Coleman of Killeen, TX and Gregory Coleman of Copperas Cove, TX; a loving best friend, Mary Sue Thompson of Waco, TX and a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other relatives.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to the American Cancer Society.
