Rosalind E. Johnson

She was born August 18, 1928, the daughter of Rose E. (Champagne) and Alfred H. Auger, Sr.

Rosalind was a 1946 graduate of Keene High School. She worked at FW Woolworth’s from 1943 to 1950 and Keene Savings Bank from 1967 to 1973. She was asked to be the first female head teller at the bank.

She was an excellent seamstress and cook, making everything from curtains to tailored coats. Pies were her specialty. In younger years she labored in the family garden, and canned vegetables, pickles, relishes, jams and jellies. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, ceramics, and painting. Her favorite times were spent with family and friends, on road trips and boating with her husband Cal, and watching Red Sox games on TV with her sisters.

She will be greatly missed by many, especially her two children, daughter, Jerelyn R. "Jerri" Hill and her husband, Bob, of Crystal Beach, FL, Gary C. Johnson, Sr. and his wife, Sharon, of Keene; her grandchildren, Philip Hill and his wife, Kimberly, Jeffrey Hill and his wife, Ellen, Matthew Hill and his wife, Danielle, Kathrine Johnson and her partner, Greg Lounder, Gary C. "CJ" Johnson, Jr. and his partner, Nikki Peichert; eight great-grandchildren; two sisters, Janet Lamoureux, of Keene, Aurelie Russell, of Westmoreland, NH; and several nieces, nephews and extended family members. Rosalind was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Calvin T. Johnson, Jr.; her parents; three brothers, Alfred Auger, Jr., Gerald Auger, Robert Auger, Sr.; and two sisters, Delores Luksevish and Priscilla LaPlante.
