What sweet memories we have across the years.. she was the “life “ of the party , always “ shining “ for Jesus ! Can hear she and Rex singing now . “ 🎶Resurrection Morn “.. 🎶  What a blessing it was to be their accompanist at church camp and revivals ; they were true, anointed worship leaders ! 

Our love and prayers for comfort and peace during this difficult time 🙏💕..

We know LaWanda will be missed by so many but she is with Rex and with Jesus, her Savior and friend.

God bless you and your families during this time. Our prayers are with you.

I met Rex & LaWanda at Harmony Hill Youth Camp, when I was in high school. Rex led the youth choir, in which my 2 sisters & I sang a trio descant part. LaWanda’s sweet voice could be heard among those praising God, during the services & in beautiful duets with her husband. 

She also joined her husband in revivals at KCCBS in the campus church, when I was in college. I loved her passion for Christ, and the unapologetic ways, in which she portrayed that. 

When my husband & I were pastoring a small country church in MO, Rex & his daughter came to our house, as Rex was holding a weekend meeting for us. We sure missed LaWanda being there but I was confident that she was praying. 

It was good to see her & Rex in 2021 & visit with them a bit. Now, they are both in Heaven & I plan on joining my voice with theirs, in praising Our Heavenly Father forever & ever!

Our prayers are with her family now & in the days ahead.
