Tempy Hoskins

She was an awesome music teacher, choir director, and pianist. We worked together at McNair Middle School where I taught orchestra. I am also from Michigan. I just talked to her maybe a few months before she passed. I missed the announcement altogether and learned about her transition at a funeral over a week ago. May she rest in peace, paradise, and power in Heaven.

Mrs. Hoskins was my first choir director at True Light Baptist Church. She was always in teaching mode I learned so much from her as a child. My first exposure to the Delta's was from an event that she took a few of us to along with her daughter and it made a lasting impact. My condolences to the family.

I thank God that my cousins Charles and Jeanie introduced me to Mrs.Hoskins over 15 years ago. She demonstrated the love of God in sickness and in good health. Now she is gone, but will never be forgotten...Respectfully Submitted...EddieMae Kennedy & Family.

My first remembers of meeting Mrs. Hoskins was at the age of 10 when my mother sent me to her for voice lessons. Mrs. Hoskins to say the least nurtured my focal training to include having me involved in the University of Michigan Statewide Choir, Touring Europe with the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp international choir along with sending me to the University of Kanas for Classical Music training when I was only in Middle School. To say that Mrs. Hoskins played a pivotal part in my musical career...

Sis. Tempy Hoskins was My Music Teacher & and Mentor and Advisor at Grand Rapids Junior College in Michigan. I was The President of The Black Student Union at The College. We Traveled to Atlanta Georgia and Tour all The Black Colleges. After to Move to Atlanta Georgia. We kept in Touch. She was a Woman of God. She will truly be missed. My condolences goes out to the Family. Rest In Heaven. For your Labour was not in vain. Rev. Jeffrey Cummings- Wyoming, Michigan
