Christian artist Mandisa Hundley will have her life and legacy celebrated this weekend after her death on Thursday, April 18.
As The Tennessean reported, Hundley, more affectionately known as Mandisa by fans, will be celebrated in two different services. The first service will be held at Fisk University, Mandisa’s alma mater on Friday April 25.
Fisk University’s Jubilee Singers are also planning to dedicate a song to Mandisa during their commencement ceremony on May 5.
The second service to celebrate Mandisa’s life will happen tomorrow, April 27, at Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, Tenn. The visitation will take place from 9-10:30 a.m. before the service begins at 11 a.m. You can livestream the service at brentwoodbaptist.com/mandisa.
The passing of the 47-year-old singer was a shock to fans and those close to her. A former contestant of the hit TV show, “American Idol,” Mandisa made an impact on those both on and off the stage.
“Her joy was infectious & I loved her heart to encourage people on & off stage!” Christian singer Danny Gokey wrote on Facebook. “Mandisa you left too soon—our community will never be the same without you.”
