Studying was something that Etta liked to do and she constantly pursued knowledge. She graduated with honors from Shalom Bible College with a Doctorate of Ministry degree. Believing that she was called as a prophet of God, Etta completed several years of intense study after which she was consecrated as a Prophet. She traveled and taught prayer and intercession throughout the US and Africa.
Her husband Joseph Thurman and two of her children, Wayne Taylor and Charissa Jordan preceded her in death.
Those who will celebrate her life's memories are a sister, Dr. Winnie Hamilton of Cleveland, OH; a brother, George Taylor of Pittsburg, CA; a daughter, ReFlaye Williams; grandchildren, KeNeshia Williams, DeOnte Williams, William Razor IV, DeVaree and DeVonte Jordan; one great grandchild, Legend Stewart; a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
