Cissy Houston has been laid to rest.
Dionne Warwick, BeBe Winans, Darlene Love, and a large choir celebrated gospel icon Cissy during a memorial in Newark, New Jersey on Thursday.
The service, held at New Hope Baptist Church where Houston was a longtime member, featured framed photos of her and her coffin placed before the pulpit.
Warwick, Houston’s niece, expressed her love, saying, “Cissy, I’m going to miss you… You gave us your heart and soul.” Houston, a two-time Grammy-winning artist, passed away on October 7 at age 91.
During the ceremony, her son Gary sang “Freedom,” and Love performed “It Is Well with My Soul.”
Her goddaughters vowed to continue wearing purple eyeshadow in her memory.
Prayers to her fans and loved ones.
