Alma Green Obituary
Alma Weston Green
January 16, 1934 - April 6, 2019
Raleigh
Alma Weston Green, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, Momma Goose, Buddy and Greystone Girl went from love to love on April 6, 2019, surrounded by her family.
She was born in Birmingham, AL to Alma Barr Hale and Carl Arthur Weston on January 16, 1934, and was raised in Charlotte, NC. She graduated from Central High School in 1952, St. Mary's College in Raleigh in 1954 and UNC Chapel Hill in in 1956. She obtained her Masters from UNC Chapel Hill in 1966.
She married the love of her life, Dr. Robert Lorenza Green in 1956. They raised four children in Winston-Salem, NC and are blessed with 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. They have been residing in Pine Knoll Shores, NC and Raleigh, NC for many years.
Alma was a woman of many talents and creativity. She excelled at needlework of every kind, sewing, knitting, embroidery, needle point, and cross stitching to name a few. She was also a painter and designer. Her entertaining and gourmet dinners were legendary. Her generous hospitality and open table were a gift to all. There was always room at her table. And her sense of humor, spunk, easy laugh, and twinkle in her eye made all feel loved and welcomed. Although her body limited her in later life, she loved tennis, boating, swimming, water aerobics, dancing and long walks on the beach.
Alma counted her greatest accomplishment to be her family – on whom she showered her love and generosity. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Dr. Robert Lorenza Green of Raleigh and Pine Knoll Shores, NC; her four children and their families: Dr. Robert Lorenza Green, Jr. and his wife Kimberly Ann Green of Lynchburg, VA; Elizabeth Green Lindsey and her husband Edward Harman Lindsey, Jr. of Atlanta, GA; William Arthur Green and his wife, Pamela Johnson Green of Charleston, SC; and Virginia Green Adams and her husband Richard Childs Adams of Raleigh, NC.
