Burech Floyd was born on January 15, 1951 to the late Annie Mae and Lawyer Smith in Brewton, Ala. She was one of nine siblings; five preceded her in death.

On Mar. 12, 2020, at a Pensacola, Fla., hospital due to an illness, God saw fit to call Burech home. During this illness her faith in God never wavered. She remained faithful, fervent and focused on the mission God called her to do and that was planting good seed into good ground wherever she went; the Word of God.

Burech found Christ at an early age and joined Baptist Hill Missionary Baptist Church; baptized by Pastor Sidney C. Tucker. She attended Booker T. Washington School and T.R. Miller High School where she graduated with the Class of 1969.
