Tawanda (Gail) Torbert entered peacefully into eternal rest on September 23, 2024 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Tawanda was preceded in death by her father, Johnny Jacobs of Phenix City, AL.

She leaves to cherish her memories and love: her mother, Alice Torbert (Morris Comer) of Columbus, GA; a very devoted partner, Rodney McQueen; two loving daughters, Cameron (Aisha) Torbert and Cambria Torbert; a beautiful granddaughter, Londyn Carter, all of Phenix City, AL; two sisters, Phyllis Worrell and Felicia Torbert of Phenix City, AL;one brother, Michael Akers of Columbus, GA; two special God grands, Brycen Brylei Kynard and a host of other relatives and friends.

Tawanda was such a sweet, lovable person with a heart of gold., and always willing to help anyone that she could. Although she was this fun, loving person to be around, she had her feisty moments too.

She was guaranteed to keep you laughing, and no matter which side of her, you encountered, you couldn't help but love her. Everyone that knew her, knew that the things she enjoyed other than her kids and family, were her trips to the casino, football games, and watching Family Feud and HGTV.

Tawanda was a Housing Specialist for the Columbus Housing Authority, where she worked until her health started to decline. Through her job, she had the opportunity of meeting many people and making an impact on their lives. This was evident by the number of people that always approached her to speak whenever she was out around town.

She also made a lot of friends at her job that became more like family than coworkers.

Tawanda will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all that had the pleasure of knowing her.
