Kenneth was born on December 4, 1924, in Mathiston, Mississippi, to the late Eugene and Lela Sansing.
He grew up in a big loving family during the depression. At age 18, he joined the Air Force and served as a Staff Sargent in World War II. After his military service, he followed in his father’s footsteps and worked for the C&G Railroad for 17 years.
In the mid-1950’s he bought a small farm, soon opened Sansing Meat Service, and lived his dream of being a farmer and father. He was a long time member of Maben First Baptist Church where he served as a youth Sunday school teacher and deacon.
