WFH doesn’t mean available 24/7

I work from home, but have a set schedule. When I say I'm heading out, I'm OUT. I turn off the computer and close the office door. I have a coworker who routinely texts me to call customers back after I've “left.” Um, no. I'm not firing up the computer (which would be necessary to call because I'm not calling on my personal phone). If we worked in an office, would this coworker seriously expect me to go back into the office 2 hours after I've left? I've just started ignoring her completely when she does this. I'm firm on my boundaries and I think she's just jealous that I've negotiated a schedule that works for my life. My boss is absolutely fine with my performance and schedule. I'm just getting really annoyed. She's overstepped several times now.
