Life’s Reflections
LaTosha Renee Hill (Johnson), age 48, embraced life with a spirited joy that touched everyone around her. She passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on June 9, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter. A cherished wife, devoted mother, adoring grandmother, and beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend, LaTosha’s departure has left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.
Born on June 13, 1976, in Clarksdale, MS, to the late Bobbye (Johnson) George and Will Johnson, LaTosha brightened every room with her radiant smile and infectious spirit. A proud graduate of Middle College in Memphis, TN, she navigated life with feistiness and a wonderful sense of humor, always ready with a joke to lift others’ spirits.
LaTosha is survived by her loving husband of 12 years, James Hill. She leaves behind her beloved children: Kedra Lashun Johnson (preceded in death), Keeley Pershun Williams Jr., Kurt Carlton Fleming Jr., and Briana Alexis Dunbar, as well as her cherished stepdaughters, Julia C. Hill and Kendall Y. Hill. Her grandchildren—Keeley Williams III, Karlmelo Williams, Raelyn Williams, and Khali Williams—were the light of her life, and she adored them deeply.
Her family ties extended to her siblings, Alexis Griggs (Lemmie Griggs), LaPamela Overstreet, Charles Taylor Jr., Cashara Johnson, and Darrin “Peewee” Johnson, along with her sister-in-law Allison M. Chism. LaTosha’s love also encompassed her nieces and nephews: Reco Hamer (Ashley), Cameron Johnson, Coby Taylor, Chase Taylor, Kelvin Johnson, and Lashundra Overstreet, as well as a host of cousins and extended family who held a special place in her heart.
Though she may no longer be with us in body, LaTosha’s vibrant spirit will forever remain alive in our memories and in the love she shared with all of us. Your memory will live on forever in our hearts and our homes, reminding us to cherish each moment and to always find joy and laughter in life.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23
A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to fight, You gave us strength; you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a wife not just as a mother. For all of us you gave your best, Now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, if so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say, Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day, Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.
