Marilyn Greene Obituary
Marilyn is survived by her husband of 48 years, Ron, and their children, Romeo, Jessi (Chris), Daniel, and Anne (Mike) as well as her brothers Genaro and Vincent, her nephew Michael, and numerous cousins, aunts and uncles. She was a proud grandmother to Isabelle and Liliana. Her passing was preceded by her parents, Marilyn and Vincent, her stepfather Joe, and her sister Joy.
Marilyn found joy in her hobbies of reading, gardening, knitting, and quilting, activities that reflected her gentle and creative spirit. She was a woman of great faith, who dedicated her life to The Lord and guided her family to do the same.
A service to celebrate her life will be held on Sunday, August 25, 2024, at 12 PM at Living Word Worship Center, 26701 Pennsylvania Rd, Brownstown, MI. A second service will take place on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 1:30 PM at Great Lakes National Cemetery, 4200 Belford Road, Holly, MI. Attendees are requested to arrive by 1:15 PM for an escort to the ceremony location.

I am shocked and so sorry to hear this sad news. Please accept my deepest condolences. Mimi was the sweetest and gentlest person I've ever met.
We met when our children were young. We were friends till she moved to Michigan. We stayed in touch via her mom who was my pastor and friend and her sister Joy. Always loved when she visited family in PA. I usually got to visit with her as well.
We cared for her mom together during her mom's last days. While it was a difficult time, it was also a special time together.
Marilyn (Mimi) exuded the love of Christ. You always felt peaceful around her. That peace and God's presence followed her wherever she went.
She is reunited with her mom and sister and we'll see her again in the presence of the Lord.
May our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit comfort the whole family during this time of mourning and deep grief.
Marilyn has entered her well deserved rest.

While I did not know Marilyn extremely well, I did have a chance to get acquainted with her through Hooks & Needles at the Taylor Community Library. I will remember her friendly spirit and her willingness to help those around her. Her contributions to this group included conversation, stitching advice when asked for, practical & helpful thoughts about our holiday donations, and stitched items she donated. We also got to know Annie and celebrate her new baby. Marilyn will certainly be missed. While I did not see her in a faith-oriented environment, I could see her faith in her outlook and her attitude to those around her.
