Ernestine Bowman Ferguson, also known as Tina, is a native of Colleton County who grew up in Cooks Hill, a tiny community. Attended Ritter Elementary School and was a 1982 graduate of Walterboro High School. In 1984, I completed a combination nursing program at Trident Technical College and MUSC in Charleston South Carolina, to obtain a license in practical nursing.

I was chosen to help others at an early age by the all-powerful, all-knowing God. I am the proprietor of LaTrice D. Ferguson Healthcare Institute in Walterboro, South Carolina.

I never dreamed that my career path would lead me to owning businesses, Peaches of Love, LLC, named after my mother Rosella (Peachie) Reed Bowman, then the healthcare school, and shortly after Peaches of Love Homecare Agency, a second location of LaTrice D. Ferguson Healthcare Institute in Orangeburg, SC. God has a way, and I’m grateful for his decision to appoint a little country girl like me with the assignment of leading others in making their dreams come true.

My interest is in seeing the next person win. My hobby is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. My passion is living life unapologetically.
