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.

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

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