This person was very rough with her and even grabbed her by the neck and yelled for her to stop it! I was so shocked and at a loss for words! Never again will she handle my pups!

I may have to address it as it does really bother me. I was just so in shock that she treated her that way!
What's so extra awful is that this kind of intimidation can teach a dog to fear the activity surrounding/involved in the fearful episode. So a dog can link a trip to the vet or trying to give a pill or even raising of the voice with this scary experience down the road.
