Called Billie by her family and friends, she was born in Martinsville on April 13, 1928 to Albert Young and Ethel Till Young, the last of their seven children. She graduated from Crystal Springs High School and worked in Jackson before she was married there on November 13, 1949, to Robert Kenneth (Jack) McInnis, her partner of 67 years.
