The year 2018 was a tough one for iconic singer, recording artist, and performer
Stevie Wonder. In that year, he mourned the death of his good friend, the legendary Aretha Franklin, but three months earlier he dealt with the passing of his sister Renee, who was 56 years old. She was the youngest of six children of Stevieâs mother, Lula Mae Hardaway.
As an adult, Renee had co-written songs with Stevie, including âI Canât Help It,â which appeared on Michael Jacksonâs âOff The Wallâ album.
According to reports, Renee Lynda Hardawayâs body was discovered inside her home. It was determined that she had been dead for perhaps days. She was so badly decomposed that she was almost unrecognizable. The cause of death was not publicized.
