Joseph Middleton of The Golden Era Gospel Blog informed GMF of the passing of Edna Tatum.Edna was a longtime commentator and broadcaster who was also recognized for her narrative collaborations with Rev. James Cleveland, Albertina Walker, and others.
I was introduced to Edna by Bro. Steve Harris in 2012, and I fondly remember her warmth and her encouraging words to me as a newcomer to the GMWA convention.
GMF extends sympathy to her family, friends, and industry colleagues.
Read about Edna’s ministry and homegoing arrangements in the Los Angeles Sentinel.
