Norma Jean Green

Holt, Michigan

Mrs. Norma Jean Green born 11/1/1926 passed away 7/30/2020 at Hospice House of Mid-Michigan at Sparrow/St. Lawrence Hospice.

Along with large family gatherings, swimming in the family pool, long walks and bike rides, even riding in the DALMAC to the Mackinaw Bridge in her 60’s, she enthusiastically and tirelessly participated in many charities.   These included being a representative for Gray Ladies at the Lutheran Home, the Holt Food Bank, part of the Welcome Wagon, and chaired many committees at the First Presbyterian Church of Holt.  She also painted toys with the R.J. Scheffel Toy Memorial, helping to provide Christmas gifts to needy children, Meals on Wheels, and baked thousands of cookies for homeless shelters.   Besides being the best Grandma ever!

Norma joins her husband of 57 years, Emmett D. Green, mother Alma Whitcraft, sister Betty Southwell, and many good friends in heaven. She leaves behind a brother, James Whitcraft, as well as her children, JoAnn Elden (Richard Elden), Robert Green (Wendy Green), and Carol Moyers (Lex Moyers), 6 grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and extended family.

There will be an interment ceremony with the immediate family at the First Presbyterian Church of Holt where she will be laid to rest with her husband Emmett in the columbarium in the garden courtyard.

Loved Aunt Norma had a great childhood memories with her and wonderful adult memories when she and uncle Emmett took grandma Jo on trips with them and when they came to Columbus Ohio to visit. Loved her cinnamon rolls and German Chocolate cakes loved going to lots of parties at her house and ours as we grew older celebrate birthdays together at different restaurant and with ice cream. Felt bad when my birth defect made it to hard for mom and I to spend time with her. Lots of memories from church. I have cherished all my memories with her and Uncle Emmett since I’m not able to do as much as I used. I’m sure she is with Uncle Emmett in true love bliss.

So sorry for your loss, she was a very sweet lady. She always made those wonderful cinnamon rolls for JoAnns sleepovers. I’m happy I had a chance to know her.

I remember her from church, of course. She was my Sunday school teacher and in VBS too. Such a gentle soul.
