RIP TO MY NAME SAKE
VONETTA MCGEE
As many of you all know i am a child of the 70′s. My parents born in the 50′s came of age in the 60′s so of course this colors my world. My family means a great deal to me and we have a tradition in our family for naming the daughters. My Great Grandmother was Louis Ann, My grandmother Marie Louis, My Mother Rhona Marie…but me…I am different even before I was born…my name Rhona Vonetta…. Now my dad gave us all our middle names, Vonetta being mine… I was told even at an early age i was name after Vonetta McGee…an actress my father thought was the FOINEST woman walking *next to my mom of course* I have always felt like I knew Vonetta McGee, even thought I never met her personally. So when the news that she has passed on July 9, 2010 I was a bit heart broken. She was 65 years young, and a star of many black movies in the 70′s.
I will not rehash what she has done just say REST IN PEACE VONETTA
Many a young black girl born in the 70′s has been named after you, with out you I would not have the name I love so much.
Love Peace and All Things Pretty
