Her longtime friend, the Rev. Marvin Winans, will likely deliver the eulogy, according to a source.

The Michigan-based pastor—and brother of gospel artists BeBe and CeCe Winans—officiated Houston's wedding to Bobby Brown in 1992.

Winans heads Detroit's Perfecting Church, a ministry he founded.

Houston was interviewed by the New York Daily News after attending a service at the church a few years ago.

"I've had a great time," she told the newspaper. "If I closed my eyes tomorrow, the only thing that would concern me is my daughter growing up right. For me, for my life, I'd be satisfied."

She was also spotted at the church this October while filming her last movie, Sparkle, in the Motor City.
