Reba McEntire, who hails from Chockie, and MercyMe, who have Edmond ties, were big winners this week at the Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards in Nashville, Tennessee.
McEntire, a Country Music Hall of Famer, received her first Dove Award for her first gospel album of her four-decade music career. Her 2017 double album "Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope" was named Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year.
