Rhonda Lavon Hoskins

Rest in Power Sister Rhonda. i was missing Durham, so I googled your name to see if you were still doing music after all these years. George Baker is my name.

Rhonda helped my mother once at Talbots Southpoint and was so wonderful my mother kept her business card. Both my mother and I send our condolences to the family and also to Talbots, who lost a great employee.

I met you through a mutual friend.I'm just grateful to have run into such an energetic and kind soul. The news was a shocking one. You will be missed dearly Rhonda. Prayers to your son and family.

Rest In Peace, Rhonda. You were always a sweet, sweet soul. Sincerely, Chris & Keisha Carrawell

Rest In Paradise Rhonda, you have always been supportive, creative, and carried positivity every time our paths crossed. You will be dearly missed. My prayers go out to her son and loved ones for strength during this transition. Know that you will see her again. -Christopher Battle

Rhonda would always talk with me when I would go get my sisters Christmas gift cards from Talbots at Southpoint Mall, gave me the best advice and talks , and don't forget those awesome hugs🙏🏼even though I met her through her sister Venisha that went to WG Pearson Elementary School with me and Hillside c/o 1993. ❤️RIP Rhonda Family I'm praying for your strength during this time😁

God has a wonderful Angle in heaven, Rhonda you always had a smile for everyone in you sight. You will be missed.

Rhonda was such a beautiful spirit.. Always had a smile. We created a bond at Belk where we worked and shared so many conversations about life and her son Chris, who was the center of her world. We shared her love for music. We shared conversations of life and the journeys one must take. She would be at First Calvary on New Yezr Eve. She definitely had a plan for life..Will miss your warm smile and our long talks..RIP Sistah, Chris you were always the light in her heart.

Rest in eternal peace Rhonda. God gave such a wonderful, carrying, helpful spirit! You were such a joy! Always helpful when we took mom to Belk or Talbots. You would pick out items for her that work! And you were so patient! God allowed you to touch sooo many lives and you made people smile!! I know you're wearing your crown. My condolences to your family, Rhonda was a jewel.

Love you always sis. Forgot to add my name to my last message 😢😢😢 Your lil sis, Crystal Roberts 💕

From riding the city bus together, working at the malls together, the real conversations, the sisterly advice, and so much more is what I'm gonna miss the most but I thank God that we was able to share those memories together and I will forever cherish those moments. I love you so much and and I thank you for all you have done. We truly lost an Angel. Gone but definitely not forgotten RIP Sista 1

Dear Chris, My heart broke when I heard of Rhonda's death. I just visited and talked with both of you a few weeks ago outside Panera when you had gotten off from work. Rhonda thanked me again for hiring her into Belk and we talked of her singing, your jewelry and t-shirts, and said we would meet again soon. That will now not happen... Chris I have known you for over 10 years. You and your Mom had a special strong and supportive love. You were her heart ♥️. My prayers are for you and Family and for a life gone too soon.. May Rhonda forever rest in God's love

So sorry to hear of Rhondas passing! She was always upbeat and had a great personality. I loved talking to her. RIP Rhonda!

My words cannot express the heart wrenching hurt that I am feeling at this time. I worked with Rhonda at Belk, and we became sistah's immediately. She shared, I shared! We laughed and cried on the inside! Rhonda had testimonies, that's why she at every opportunity she shared with those she trusted. I am so deeply saddened that she is gone. But she will never be forgotten. Rhonda was a community activist, a missionary, and touched many souls. She loved the Lord. Her assignment is completed. Sistah Queen, I Love You Always In Spirit. You Made It! Hallelujah! Rest joyfully with the Lord. Thank you God for placing Rhonda in my life💕

RIP Rhonda ... you will definitely be missed!!!
