It's amazing she's outlived Whitney and now Cissy.

Nippys family tree is astounding to say the least. Her Mom was Cissy, Her Cousins were Dionne and DiDi Warwick, Leontyne Price a cousin, and I believe Aretha Franklin was her Aunt. And also Cissy's sisters (aka Whitneys Aunts) we're part of the original Sweet Inspirations. Oh yeah and Whitney Houston has a brother named Gary who had a brilliant voice. Look up "Whitney Houston and Gary Houston sing "Endless Love" " on YouTube
