This memorial website was created in the memory of our loving mother, Trillis Irene Greene, 77, born on June 14, 1935 and passed away on December 4, 2012. We will remember her forever.
Trillis was born and raised in Morganfield, Kentucky to Sylvester and Lillie Bell McGuire. She was a member at the Bowman AME Church of Morganfield, KY. At an early age she met, fell in love and married the love of her life, George Albert Greene. George was a dedicated soldier when they married, and because of his obligations to the United States Army they departed from Kentucky to service their country. Trillis enjoyed being a military wife until she had to be separated from George due to overseas tours of duty. Trillis and George had five (5) beautiful children which they both took pride in raising.
Trillis, while based at Fort Dix with her husband and the kids nearly grown was employed at Walson Army hospital as an Environmental Service Technician. She received numerous awards from Fort Dix, one of which was a "We Care Award" presented by the United States Army Medical Department Activity, a "High Performance Award for Excellence" and several "Outstanding Service & Dedication Awards." After twenty-five (25) years Trillis retired to spend her remaining years as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Trillis dedicated her life to her family; she enjoyed watching and supporting them in fulfilling their dreams and goals. Trillis talked to each of her five (5) children on the phone just about every day of the week. Trillis was always operating in the spirit of giving whether it was financial or with words of wisdom. Not only did she give to her family, many others were blessed as well by her generosity.
Trillis is preceded in death by her husband SGM Ret. George Albert Greene, her parents Sylvester and Lillie Bell McGuire, and sisters Effie Edwards, & Erma McGuire, and a brother James Albert. She leaves to cherish her memory: Two (2) sisters, Mary McGuire, & Hilda Rose husband Will, both of Morganfield, KY., four (4) daughters, Joy Delmage & husband Dave of Candor, NY, Tina Daniels of Delanco, NJ, Gloria D. Greene of Browns Mills, NJ, Gwendolyn Ann Cook & husband Jonathan of Vineland, NJ, one (1) son, Robert Lee Greene & wife Angela of Pembroke, Fla. Trillis is the loving Grandmother of Qiana, Ciara & Robert Jr., & Great-Grandmother of Shatara. She will be dearly missed by a host of other family members, including her best friend Jane Ferrell of Henderson, KY.
Lovingly Submitted,
The Family
