Mother Rose died after a battle with cancer last month at age 75.
Jennings called Mother Rose her sister in Christ.
The family of Mother Rose entered St. Paul Church surrounded by hundreds to celebrate her abundant life. It was a prayer-filled and praised-filled room to display the unwavering faith Mother Rose always held onto.
"Being a familiar face, a loving spirit, she definitely embodies that as a nurse, and she carried that same skillset over to the bookstore," said Ronnie West, Mother Rose's other son and Johnson's older brother.
There, she employed and mentored dozens of students from her alma mater, Sacramento High, sharing the joy of reading, transforming the space into a literary hub and giving them a glimpse into their African American heritage.
Community members, students and even doctors who stuck by her side down to her final moments were all in attendance to honor Mother Rose's remarkable dedication to Sacramento.
"She touched lives she made a difference and it's now going to be our jobs to continue her legacy," Jennings said.
At Thursday's service, they announced several scholarships created in her honor and read a message from California's governor honoring Mother Rose's work in the capital city.
"Her management of Underground Books combined with her 27 years career as a registered nurse are the true testament of uplifting her community," Rick Jennings said.
