About Us
Victorious Trio was born in the midst of the 2020 pandemic. We were all pretty much in self-isolation when Rich and Linda Sue's neighborhood began having weekly outdoor church services in their cul-de-sac for about ten families. At first, Rich and Linda Sue were asked to sing duets from their previous trio, and later they asked their good friend, Cheryl (who was an experienced solo artist), if she would like to sing, too, since her church was not meeting. Rich arranged some of Cheryl's solo numbers to sing as a trio. It was intended to be a short-term thing, but when the neighbors in their "Cul-de-sac Church" heard them and gave their enthusiastic support, a new Southern Gospel Trio was born! Welcome to Victorious!

Cheryl gave her heart and life to the Lord in 2006, and ever since has been an active member of her church, serving in a number of different ministries including the music ministry, the children's Awana program, and the food pantry.
