George was born on December 25, 1915, in Halifax County, Virginia, to James Henry Easley and Mary Ellen Bailey Easley, the second of their six children. At an early age, he joined the St. Luke C.M.E. Church; and, he attended the Halifax County public schools.

George was joined in marriage to the former Mable Medley. While they did not have children of their own, he showered his nieces and nephews with fatherly love. After marrying, George became a member of William Temple C.M.E. Church, where he served faithfully.
