Mary Green Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mary liked to journal as a young girl growing up in Orlando, Florida. She had very fond memories of growing up there. Mary met the love of her life, Don Green, at the University of Alabama. She and Don married and had two boys, Derek and Chad. They made a great team and worked very hard to raise their boys while working and creating great memories for their family. Mary worked for over 20 years with the IRS, all while keeping the family on track as well as all their events, etc. The family went on many fun trips over the years. They enjoyed their trips to Gulf Shores, going on regular camping trips, and even a month-long summer camping trip out west, as well as countless youth sporting events.
Mary and Don enjoyed lasting friendships they made at Huffman United Methodist Church and Jefferson State Junior College. However, their favorite and fondest memories are of their camping trips, before the kids as well as after. She loved the time they spent together, unwinding and just being together. This was something Mary cherished forever.
Mary is preceded by the love of her life, her husband, Don Green; as well as her parents, Henry and Hilda Hartung.
She is survived by her two sons, Derek Green (Lisa) of Charlotte, NC and Chad Green (Stephanie) of Mobile, AL; and her grandchildren, Wyatt and Austin Green and Izzie and Beau Green.
Mary would ask that instead of a service or flowers, to please consider donating to one of her favorite charities listed below, as they were very dear to her and it would mean a lot to the family as well.

Mary and I were roommates for one year in college and sorority sisters for life. She was a special person. Due to health issues, we didn´t get to see each other any more. But we continued to talk several times a year. I always cherished hearing from her.

Mary Hartung Green was my friend from our freshman year in college through the rest of her life. I will always hold Mary in my heart and share my grief with all who loved her.
