Life Reflections on Evangelist Detrice Roshelle Massie

Evangelist Detrice Roshelle Massie was born November 19, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois, to John H. Sr. and Ruth Massie. She grew up in Chicago's historic Pullman District and graduated from Dunn Elementary School and Corliss High School.  She was a very charismatic and free-spirited person who loved music, theatre, and the arts.

Detrice joined Liberty Temple Full Gospel Church in Chicago in 1989. After several years, she enrolled her children in Liberty Academy. She was determined to share her faith with her children, raising them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

In the early 1990s, Detrice became a member of Holywood Studios and the drama team and helped bring this ministry to the great success it enjoys even today.  One of the drama ministry members commented on how Detrice was a very powerful artistic gift, who could transform herself into a "dramatic" character right before your eyes, literally becoming someone else.  This was one of Detrice's special artistic anointings.  The drama ministry loved her, knowing her as a "down-to-earth sister, who kept it real." Detrice was a faithful member of the drama team. She was involved in several of the stage productions and made cameo appearances on the award-winning television series, "The Awakening."

In 2013, Detrice was ordained as an evangelist.  Evangelist Detrice loved God, her family, and her church. Detrice will be greatly missed. She will always be remembered for her laugh, smile, wisdom, and zeal for life.
