A funeral and celebration of life will be held for iconic Neo-Soul singer Angie Stone this weekend. The family announced funeral plans in a post on Instagram this week.
Stone, 63, died on March 1 when a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van she was riding in lost control and overturned on a highway in Alabama.
The singer’s celebration of life is set to take place on Friday, March 14, in Austell, Ga. Then a traditional funeral will be held on Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina.
In a recent video, Stone’s daughter, Diamond Stone explained why she shared her Cash App online following her mother’s tragic death.
Diamond defended sharing her Cash App after GoFundMe shut down a fake page that raised over $12,000.
She expressed frustration when Stone’s fans questioned why she needed the money.
“I posted my Cash App today because people were asking where they could send money to us because of all the scams and all the things that’s been going on,” Diamond said.
“I posted my Cash App. If you wanna donate, donate. If you don’t, don’t. All that negative – ‘Where her money at? Why she doing this?’ It don’t f***ing matter why I’m doing it,” she added.
“Some of y’all have no respect for the dead of their family,” Diamond said. “Some of y’all have no idea what we going through. So, I’m saying this one time and one time only: if you don’t wanna send no f***ing money, keep yo’ nasty as* comments to yo’ self, ’cause now ain’t the time nor the place. And anybody who know me know I go 10 toes about mine.”
In 2015, Angie Stone was arrested for assaulting Diamond and knocking her front teeth out during a fight in their Atlanta area home.
Angie shared Diamond with her ex-husband, Rodney Stone. She also had a 27-year-old son, Michael Archer, with soul singer D’Angelo.
