Mother Deloris Buckley Brown was born in Bogalusa to the proud parents of Roy and Helen Buckley. She was educated in the Louisiana elementary and secondary school system, where she excelled in academics. She was raised in a Christian home and attended Second Baptist Church, where she received significant spiritual instruction and training.
