Ronyelle Martinez Haythorne's Obituary
Ronyelle Martinez Haythorne was born January 20, 1964 in St.
Louis, MO to the late William “Sunny” French and late Dorothy J.
Miller. She was the second born of three children. She was blessed
to have another father in her life at the age of two which was her
stepdad, Roy L. Miller, who proceeds her in death.
We were all very blessed to have Ronyelle in our lives for the time
she was with us. She had such a loving heart and great sense of
humor. When she smiled it warmed the room and our hearts.
Ronnie, as she was called by most, received her education in the
St. Louis County School System. She graduated from Berkeley
Senior High class of 1983. She then took courses at Florissant
Valley Community College before starting her modeling journey
with Barbizon Modeling and Acting School.
She was blessed with a loving and caring daughter, Ranobia
“Nobie”, who she loved dearly. Ronnie had a strong sense of
independence and was not afraid to take on motherhood as a
single parent. She made sure to keep close connections with
family from Detroit to Memphis and had even relocated to those
states to allow for closer support for her and her daughter. Ronnie
was “A Smile With Life” and loved to let the world know. You
could always see what she was up to by her frequent social media
post, or her funny TikTok videos. One thing for certain she kept
that smile.
