Mrs. Charles Mae Green

I HAVE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE. I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH. NOW THERE IS IN STORE FOR ME THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH THE LORD, THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, WILL AWARD TO ME ON THAT DAY-AND NOT ONLY TO ME, BUT ALSO TO ALL WHO HAVE LONGED FOR HIS APPEARING. 

II Timothy 4:7-8

Mrs. Charles Mae Green passed away on Monday, October 20, 2025, at her residence in Saginaw, Michigan, at the age of 83 years.

Charles Mae attended Saginaw Public Schools. She was a lifelong member of Spiritual Israel Church. As employment goes, Charles Mae had one of the most difficult jobs ever, which was primarily being a homemaker.
