Porsha Williams Mourns Death of Cousin and Costar Yolanda “Londie” Favors

Porsha Williams is dealing with an insurmountable loss. 

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently shared that her cousin, Yolanda “Londie” Favors—who appeared in Porsha’s RHOA Family Matters spin-off—died on Aug. 7 at 34. 

“Londie—you were our best friend, our sister, our aunt, our cousin, and so much more,” Porsha wrote in a Aug. 12 Instagram post. “Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and you are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.”

The 43-year-old went on to detail how her cousin’s memory will continue to live on. 

“The impact and value you provided all of us during your time here was tremendous,” Porsha continued. “But we know that your spirit will always be with us every day guiding us through this difficult time and what’s still to come. For that, we’re eternally grateful.”

Porsha’s emotional tribute for Londie was topped off with a quote from author E.A. Buccianeri’s Brushstrokes of a Gadfly, “So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”

And Porsha’s Real Housewives costars were quick to send her love and express their condolences. 

“Just saw her at your event a couple weeks ago,” RHOA alum Cynthia Bailey wrote. “Gave me the biggest hug. She was always so kind, sweet and full of love. She will be missed by all. Sending my heartfelt and deepest condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss.”

Angela Oakley added, “May her soul sleep in peace.”

Meanwhile, newly returned RHOA member Phaedra Parks offered a comforting proverb. 

“There is an old adage ‘only the good die young’ and Londie was better than good, she was great!” Phaedra wrote. “May God be pleased with her works and may peace, understanding and unspeakable joy be yours always.”

Further details on Londie’s cause of death have not been disclosed.
