Rosa is also predeceased by her middle child, Claudia Lyn Johnson.

She is survived by her daughter Debbie Woods, son-in-law Cliff Woods, & grandson Darius Woods.

Her son Joseph Johnson, daughter-in-law Arlena Johnson, their two children Sadie & Joshua.

As well as, her daughter Claudia’s three kids; Tahlia, Alexa, & Jayden Maguda,

Grandma Rosa lived for her children & her grandchildren. A retiree, she spent most of her days playing in her garden. She definitely had a green thumb! She liked to play cards with her grandson, Darius. They played spades or rummy on a daily basis. Darius says that she would come over every day just to beat him in a hand of cards. Then, leave.

She was always smiling, laughing, and "cracking jokes". A hopeless romantic but also a realist.

Her accent alone was enough to make us all giggle. However, if you got to know her unfiltered personality, you would see why we all loved her so much!! One of the most brutally honest people one could ever meet. She will be missed by so many. Fly High, Grandma Rosa! We miss you so much already.

A celebration of life for Rosalinda will be held Sunday, December 12, 2021 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Robert Toale and Sons Funeral Home at Manasota Memorial Park, 1221 53rd Ave East, Bradenton, FL 34203.
