The father of Mary Mary has passed away
buzzz worthy. . . Elder Eddie Adkins, the father of gospel duo Mary Mary, has passed away. Word of his passing surfaced on Facebook yesterday. Details are scarce at this point, but the Tweets from the Campbell sisters below are evidence of his passing: Elder Adkins made several appearances on the WeTV docuseries "Mary Mary" and was clearly a loving patriarch. Erica and Tina told me in an NPR interview that their father's role as a street preacher during their younger years laid the foundation for their far-reaching style. We will share more details as they become available. This story is developing. The Slice joins with fans and the gospel industry in extending our heartfelt condolences to Mary Mary for their loss.
