Rosemary Sands Johnson

Rosemary Sands Johnson was born on June 4, 1955, to the late Willie and Beatrice Williford Sands in Anderson Carolina. She departed this life on Saturday, March at the Select Specialty Hospital. Rosemary professed faith in Christ at an early age and never hesitated to tell others about the goodness of Christ and all HE meant in her life. She was very caring and nurturing and often opened her doors as a safe haven for family and friends in need of a loving place to call home. 

Rosemary was educated in the Cleveland Public School system and graduated from John Hay High School in the late 70s. Shortly after leaving high school she met and united in marriage to Ervin A. Johnson II who preceded her in death. This union was blessed with two children, Ervin A. Johnson III (Tony) and La Shaun Johnson. 

Rosemary was a devoted and cherished employee for 34 years in the housekeeping department of University Manor Health Care where she left sprinkles of happiness and showers of love in the hearts of the residents and her fellow co-workers. 

In 1993, Rosemary reunited with Donald White Sr., a childhood friend whom she married on June 17, 200 They enjoyed spending quality time going fishing, on movie dates and eating at various restaurants. Anyone who knows her would say her favorite thing of all time was to SHOP, SHOP, and then SHOP some more.
