Rochella received her education at Johnson School where she completed the 6th grade. Rochelle, “Rosie,” was a strong-willed woman who loved people. She would make sure that she would help out whomever she could when she could. She loved cooking as she was known for her famous chicken and dumplings. She was a hard worker and she had a very quiet essence about herself. Now, she could let you have it when needed though.
