Catherine Greene Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Applebee-McPhillips Funeral Home, Inc. - Middletown on Mar. 15, 2026.
Catherine DeStefano Greene passed away peacefully on March 12, 2026, at the age of 95 in Middletown, NY. Born on December 26, 1930, in Oxford Depot, NY, Catherine's life was a testament to the enduring power of faith and family.

Catherine was the cherished wife of the late Fred C. Greene Jr. Together, they built a life rich in love and shared values, setting an example of devotion for all who knew them. Catherine's legacy is carried on by her son, Ronald Greene, and his life partner, Laura Fratto, as well as Catherine's daughter, Sharon Noonan, and her husband, Ryne Noonan. She was the proud grandmother to Jeffrey Greene and Conor and Colin Noonan, along with Colin's wife Sara Noonan. Catherine also leaves behind her sister, Joyce Browne, and her husband, Jerry Browne, who will miss her dearly. Catherine was predeceased by her parents and several brothers and sisters.

Throughout her life, Catherine cultivated a warm and welcoming home, where laughter was abundant and memories were created. She also took great joy in traveling the country for many years with her husband Fred in their RV.

We take solace in knowing that Catherine has been reunited with her beloved husband, Fred, and that she rests in eternal peace. Her memory will forever be cherished.

A graveside service will be held at the Orange County Veterans Cemetery at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, March 18th.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation in Catherine's name be made to St. Jude Childrens Hospital at www.stjude.org/donate.
