of Green Valley and formerly of Canton, CT, departed from this life on Thursday, May 21, at the Odyssey Hospice Inpatient Home in Tucson.

She is survived by her husband, Wesley Green, her son, Charles Green, sisters Gladys Michaels and Ellen Dunbar, brother Lod Seale, and many nieces and nephews. Her loving heart, inquiring mind, deep faith, gentle strength, and unfailing support and encouragement will be greatly missed.
