Several hundred guests began crowding into a Nashville, Tennessee, church this afternoon to say goodbye to Donna Summer, who died of lung cancer last week, according to CNN.
Summer's family had kept the funeral plans private, but CNN reports that the service was held this afternoon (Wednesday) at 2 p.m. in the Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Camera crews were not allowed inside but set up outside.
TMZ reports that producers David Foster and Giorgio Moroder - whose musical partnership with Summer is legendary - were in attendance.
Summer's death at age 63 came as a shock to the public, as she had kept her illness a secret.
She was a five-time Grammy winner and a six-time American Music Award recipient.
"Her talent was a true gift to the music industry," said Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy.
Summer is survived by her three daughters Brook Lynn, Amanda and Mimi, and by her husband Bruce Sudano.
Summer's former manager Joyce Bogart wrote in The Hollywood Reporter this week: "She was a one-of-a-kind, creative, talented and smart woman. For periods of our lives, especially the five years I managed her in the late '70s, we were nearly inseparable. My kids called her Aunt Donna, and four years ago, my son Evan wrote a song with her that ended up on her 2008 album, Crayons. I understand why she kept her lung cancer secret. Fame is a double-edged sword: No one would have left her alone to live her life with her family, and she was a very family-oriented person. I last saw her a year ago. I wish I had a chance to say goodbye."
