Eucola Pearl May was born on January 8, 1936, in Nardin, Oklahoma, on the farm her grandfather, E. A. Harman, had staked during the 1893 land run. She would continue to live there all throughout her life. She was the daughter of Irvil F. and Dora (Snyder) Harman.

Eucola attended Oak Grove Rural School, until its closure in 1942. While there, she tap danced and entertained all over the community. She would then finish school through the eighth grade at Valley Center Rural School. She then attended the Blackwell Lovell Junior High during the ninth grade, and eventually graduated with the Blackwell High School Class of 1954, with eleven years of perfect attendance.

Following graduation, she worked for the Blackwell Public Schools in the High School cafeteria until 1956. She then went to work for John Larsen, CPA – and continued working there through many transitional periods until she took over the business in 2011 as ePearls Tax and Accounting Solutions.
