Mindy McCready was remembered for her wit, her faith in God and for her considerable singing talent at a memorial service Wednesday (March 6) in Nashville. Family, friends and members of the music industry attended the service held at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, to recall the life and career of the troubled star who died at her own hand last month at 37 years old.

In addition to three of Mindy's recordings being played during the service, including her rendition of Garth Brooks' "The Dance," singers Bryan White, Lorrie Morgan and Bekka Bramlett also performed a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary spiritual-themed songs. Lorrie Morgan sang "Ave Maria," and Bekka Bramlett delivered an acoustic version of "How Great Thou Art," which she followed by spontaneously leading attendees in singing "Kumbaya."
