Cissy Houston, a two-time Grammy-winning gospel artist and mother of Whitney Houston, was laid to rest in a heartfelt memorial service at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, where she was a longtime member. The ceremony featured performances from family members and friends, including Dionne Warwick, who expressed her deep love for her aunt, stating, 'Cissy, I’m going to miss you.' Houston, who passed away on October 7 at the age of 91, was remembered for her strong faith, compassion, and influence in music, having sung alongside icons like Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. The church was adorned with framed photos of Houston, and tributes included a proclamation from Newark's Mayor and remarks from New Jersey's Governor, who honored her legacy as a 'musical legend.' Her family vowed to continue her tradition of wearing purple eyeshadow as a symbol of remembrance. The service celebrated Houston's profound impact on her loved ones and the music community.
