She always had the upmost respect for God and church. In fact, I remember one time she went totally off on gospel artist who were trying to make gospel music sound secular. She told them to do one or the other.
The other thing, she would almost always include gospel songs in her concerts and she didn't care who didn't like it. She would take off shouting and having church.

The daughter of a Detroit preacher never left the gospel behind.
By Mesfin Fekadu & Hillel Italie Published On August 16, 2018

NEW YORK (AP) — Aretha Franklin, the undisputed "Queen of Soul" who sang with matchless style on such classics as "Think," "I Say a Little Prayer" and her signature song, "Respect," and stood as a cultural icon around the globe, has died at age 76 from pancreatic cancer....

I don't know much about her but from what I have recently read she had a bad childhood and grew up with a father who was a minister but also a sexual deviant.
After her upbringing it's a good sign she still believed in God but the gospel music scene in both black and white cultures has a lot of vanity, carnality and immorality.

Although we don't yet know when the funeral will be held, we now know specific details about it:
It will be a four-day event to celebrate her life.
For two days, Franklin's body will lie in repose at Charles H. Wright Museum for African American History. The viewing will be open to the public.
The funeral will be held at Greater Grace Temple and will only be for close family and friends.
Organizers are working on a musical tribute with major recording artists. The venue is still being decided.
Right now, Franklin's body is being held at Swanson Funeral Home in Detroit.
An exact date for the funeral is still being determined.

I was reading her bio and didn't realize how bad she had it, her mom died when she was young and Aretha already had 2 kids by the time she was 14...and as you said her dad was quite promiscuous, even having a baby by a 12 girl who was member of his congregation.

Aretha had a baby by her own father who was the pastor I think when she was around 13? The child was mentally retarded.
