She retired from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after 15 years of dedicated service. Prior to her career with TDCJ, Ms. Johnson embraced the role of a homemaker with grace and joy, creating a warm and nurturing home for her family. Ms. Johnson was a talented seamstress, channeling her creativity into “The Rosetta Shop”, a home business where she crafted beautiful garments and accessories.

In addition to sewing, Ms. Johnson had a profound love for scrapbooking. She was a well-known figure at many weekend retreats, where she taught the art of preserving memories with enthusiasm and expertise. Her scrapbooking sessions were more than just classes; they were gatherings of community, laughter, and storytelling, where friendships were formed and cherished moments were celebrated.

She is preceded in death by her parents Buford and Rosetta Baker, and her sisters Katherine Baker and Cordella Johnson.
