Ernie was born on October 15, 1955, to the late J.C. Bohanon and Juaree Bohanon. Ernie grew up in Georgetown, Alabama. Ernie married the love of her life, Gregory Allan Byrd SR., on December 14, 1974. The couple settled in Tanner Williams Alabama, where they raised their three children; Shelly, Kerri and Allan. Ernie is preceded in death by her sister Cherie Rodgers and nephew Brandy McGowan.
Ernie spent more than 30 years in as a very dedicated and hard worker with the Mobile County Public school as a CNP Manger at Tanner Williams Elementary School. Ernie was a devoted and loving mother. She was very proud of her family and was excited to become a "BB" to her wonderful grandsons Tripp Byrd and Layton Wheat. Ernie loved holidays and family get-togethers; any chance to spend time with her family was important to her. She would spend hours cooking and preparing for each celebration.
Ernie was known for bright sunshine smile and loving laugh and her love for the Alabama Crimson Tide. She lived her life like her favorite saying “Live every moment, Laugh every day and Love beyond words.” She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. Although we can longer see her with our eyes, touch her with our hands, we will always be able to feel her in our hearts forever.
