Mrs. Heard confessed Jesus Christ to be her Lord and Savior. In recent years, she enjoyed worshipping at Vineyard Worship Center. She was educated in the schools of Clay County, Alabama. Rosetta possessed many talents and through the years these talents lead to her employment with Lineville Nursing Home, Higgins Sewing Plant, Clay County Hospital and Little Rascals Daycare. She had a passion for sewing, cooking and reading her Bible.

On Tuesday, May 11, 2021, the Lord picked his flower, Rosetta to be placed in his garden of eternity.
