Pastor Emeritus Angelene Lois Trice, known to many as “Ang,” made her transition to Glory on February 8, 2024, surrounded by her family.
Ang was the sixth child born to Pastor Non Walker and Aileen Walker on June 30, 1942, in Villa Ridge, Illinois. Emeritus Angelene was saved at the young age of 14 and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. After graduating from Jackson High School, Emeritus Trice was called to the five-fold ministry as a teacher. She became a youth leader at Faith Temple COGIC, where her father was pastor. She loved working with children and youth, teaching them about the importance of God’s Word. She also wrote skits and plays and put on a mock wedding to witness to the youth and the community and raise money for the Sunshine Band.
Emeritus Angelene traveled with her father running revivals, casting out demons, prophesying, and singing in a group called “God’s Four Songbirds,” which consisted of her sister, Verlene Hester, Ruth Pryor, and Shirley “Jeanie” Oliver. Emeritus Trice fell in love and married Elder Larry M. Trice, Sr., in June of 1964. To this union, four children were born. In 1976, they began helping Pastor Dexter and Wilma DeMyers until his death and later moved to Lansing, Michigan where their ministry flourished.
Emeritus Angelene Trice interpreted dreams and visions and taught many people how to intercede and stand in the gap for those who couldn’t pray for themselves. Out of this intercession, she began the ministry “Handmaids and Midwives,” teaching men and women how to travail. Emeritus Trice, a loving foster parent, fostered many children in Jackson and Lansing, Michigan. She had such a giving heart and purchased many beautiful outfits for her grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and children in the church.
Her favorite scripture was Psalm 19:14: “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Emeritus Trice loved her sons-in-law, Wilfred and Alvin, and believed God replaced them in the loss of her son. She taught and believed in her daughter-in-law Lene’a’s intercession and later passed the weekly ministry to her. After her husband’s untimely passing, she was appointed Senior Pastor of Pentecostal Outreach COGIC by the late Bishop Marvin C. Pryor, later passing the torch to her son, Pastor Larry M. Trice, Jr., of Tabernacle of David. Emeritus Trice was also the author of two books entitled Royal Seed and Sister to Sister (When High Men Are Broken).
She leaves to cherish her memory: daughter, Cindy (Wilfred) Humes; son, Larry Jr. (Lene’a) Trice; daughter Kimberly (Alvin Sr.) Sharpe; twelve grandchildren, Nicholas (Monica) Humes, Nichole (Patrick) Shaw, Nathanael Humes, Chris (Shauniece) Humes, Charles (LaKaraniece) Humes, La’Rae Trice, Larry (Alicia) Trice, III, Lawrence Mark Trice, Alvin (Alyssa) Sharpe, II, Alysse Sharpe, Alana (Immanuel) Vaughn-Burtley, Angelo Sharpe, eight great-grandchildren, Natalie and Noelle Shaw, Aspen Summerour, Alayah Sharpe, CJ and Kiersten Humes, Charles Jr., and Nehemiah Humes; brother, Apostle John S. (Marilyn) Walker, mother-in-law, Irma Trice; sisters-in-law, Evangelist Ruth Pryor and Diane Marshall; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She adored her main caretaker and niece, Carolyn Smith, and supporters Keesha Trice, Stella Muse, Rosalyn Williams, Nabendae Amunga and Ruby Simpson; Godchildren, Gwendolyn Johnson and Melissa Dunklin.

Trice, Sr.; parents, Pastor Non and Aileen Walker; sisters, Vergie Jefferson, Delores Todd, Ruddell Woolfolk, Theresa Parker, Verlene Hester, and Linda Holmes; son, Timothy Trice, and granddaughter, Anjelica Sharpe.
