Sarah Vaughan Mourned at Funeral: Mourners lined up early Monday at a Newark, N.J., funeral home to pay their last respects to jazz legend Sarah Vaughan, who died Tuesday of lung cancer at her home in Los Angeles. She was 66. More than 100 people were lined up at 6:30 a.m., an hour and a half before the doors to the Whigham Funeral Home opened. A private funeral at Mount Zion Baptist Church, where Vaughan began singing as a young girl in the choir, followed the viewing. The Rev. Harry Jones, a gospel singer, said Vaughan, known as the “Divine One,” was his inspiration. “To hear Sarah, it was hearing the angels sing,” he said. “She was a grand lady.” Flags continued to fly at half-staff throughout the city, with purple bunting draped on City Hall.
