AmberRose Johnson, 3-month-old daughter of Carol and Jason Johnson, died Aug. 22, 2009, at her home in Anchorage. A visitation will be from 2 to 3 p.m. Friday at Evergreen Memorial Chapel, 737 E St. The funeral and interment will be in Mountain Village.

She arrived prematurely on May 28, 2009, which added some complications to her life. Although only here for three brief months, she touched the hearts of all who knew her. She was developing her own little personality by letting those who cared for her know her feelings. Her tiny growls would let you know her displeasure, but her little grins would bring smiles to all those around her.

AmberRose is survived by her parents, Carol and Jason Johnson; sister, Haley; and brother, Shane of Anchorage; maternal grandparents, Emily and George Long of Mountain Village; paternal grandparents, Regina and Maynard Johnson of Anchorage; and other family members including Stella and Dean Keys, Jack and Pauline Johnson, Betty, Sheila, Meredith and Melinda Johnson, Paul, Charles, and Joseph Long, Clifford Johnson and Nyomi Minok; and numerous cousins and relatives in Anchorage and Mountain Village.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to help the family with AmberRose's final arrangements. An Alaska USA account has been established at the Muldoon Branch under the name of AmberRose Johnson, account No. 1478561. Arrangements are with Janssen's Evergreen Memorial Chapel.
