Porsha Williams is remembering her late cousin, Yolanda “Londie” Favors, nearly one year after she passed away, in a very special way.Â
During The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, Episode 16, Porsha opened up about Londie, who passed away “unexpectedly” in August 2024 at the age of 34. “It was just so sudden — so difficult,” she said during the episode, which aired on June 22. “Londie was just the most giving person you could ever think of.”
“[She was] a loyal person, the most creative with her company. She did so much for my grandfather’s foundation. The most honest person you could ever think of. It’s just a huge loss,” Porsha added of her cousin, who appeared on Porsha’s Family Matters.
During the episode, Phaedra Parks acknowledged how much Londie meant to Porsha. “I’m devastated because I know Londie was really the backbone of their family,” she noted. “I know Porsha is devastated.”
Cynthia Bailey also acknowledged how hard this news was on everyone. “I’m in shock,” she said. “Londie was so sweet, so loving. This is devastating news.”

“I rather honor your legacy with living as you did with integrity, loving spirit, sense [of] humor, true loyalty to those you loved, empathy, and compassion for people you love and those you touch!” she added. “I will honor your memory by carrying on your legacy you built during your short time with us. Love you always and promise to help your nieces remember your greatness. Love you Londie til we meet again.”
