For Loaetta "Gibson" Reddington, shown here with her cousin Seven Gibson of Hancock County, Tennesee, singing comes as naturally as breathing.  Having gained most of her formal training in church choir and choral groups, Loaetta has ministered as a soloist since the age of 14.  She has traveled extensively fulfilling numerous singing engagements, has been interviewed on television and several times on Christian radio. Loaetta is currently a writer with BMI and was a member of the Oklahoma Songwriters & Composers Association.

 

Loaetta sights one of the greatest honors of her singing ministry was being guest soloist for the first 9-11 Memorial Service of the US Air Force Chapel at Mo'ron De La Fontera, Spain in 2003 and again in April 2004, when our troops celebrated Palm and Easter Sunday services. 

 

A native of Ohio, former resident of Dallas, Texas, Loaetta now resides in Oklahoma with her husband Tom.  She is the mother of three (2 sons and a daughter) proud grandmother of seven (5 boys and 2 girls) and great-grandmother of two boys with an addition of a little girl coming this October.  Genealogy is one of her favorite pastimes having started research on her maternal side about 1995, which resulted in a book now registered with the Kentucky Historical Society.  Read her "Gibson" ancestory "Buck and Matilda" by clicking here:
