Florence Street Greene, 87, Johnson City, died on Sunday,
March 1, 2009, at Johnson City Medical Center, Johnson
City, Washington Co TN. A native of Bakersville, NC, born
April 11, 1921, she was a daughter of the late Ed and
Nellie Gouge Street.
Mrs. Greene’s life was shaped by her experience as a child
and a young woman. Because of this, she was a very proud
and independent lady. During World War II, Mrs. Greene was
employed by Glen L. Martin Aircraft Company in 1942. In
1950, she and her husband, Frank B. Greene, moved to
Johnson City.
Mrs. Greene was a dietary worker for the VA Medical Center,
retiring in 1990. An active member of First United
Methodist Church, she was a member of the Susannah Wesley
Class and UMW. She enjoyed the fellowship of their get-
togethers with her Sunday school class and with her pastor,
Rev. Garland Thayer.
She is remembered by her family for always being totally
honest. Mrs. Greene enjoyed having family over to her
house, going out to eat with her husband on Friday’s, and
traveling. She was formerly an active volunteer with Meals
on Wheels.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by
her husband of 60 years, Frank B. Greene in 1998; a son,
Dallas Ray Greene; five sisters, Mae Garland, Elva Greene,
Norma Ledford, Frances Ray, and Mary Nell Graybeal; and
two brothers, Jesse and Woodrow Street.
She is survived by two sons and daughters-in-law, Shelby B.
and Judi Greene, Gray, TN, and Eddie Roger and Bonnie
Greene, Johnson City, TN; seven grandchildren, Todd Greene,
Georgetown, SC, Lorrie Greene, Okinawa, Japan, Jason
Greene, Johnson City, TN, Josh Greene, Elizabethton, TN,
Scott Greene, Bluff City, TN, Angie Buckingham, FLA, and
