Lorrie Lee Levin Greene

March 4, 1942 - November 7, 2025

Lorrie Lee Levin Greene, a lifelong Bay Area native, passed away surrounded by family peacefully at home on November 7, 2025, at the age of 83.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Lorrie attended Lowell High School before graduating from the University of California, Berkeley in 1962 where she was a proud member of Alpha Epsilon Phi. It was there, in the spring of 1960, that she met her husband of 62 years, Richard Lawrence Greene - he was a senior while she was a freshman. Their story began when he playfully pushed her in a fraternity pushcart race, sparking a romance that led to their marriage on January 27, 1963, and more than six decades of love, laughter, travel and partnership.

After settling in Tiburon, California, Lorrie and Richard built a warm and welcoming home filled with family, friendship, and art. For decades, Lorrie hosted many fabulous parties at their Tiburon home bringing together lifelong friends and the community. Together, they shared an extraordinary sense of adventure, traveling to more than 70 countries around the world and embracing every new culture and experience with curiosity and joy.

Lorrie was a devoted mother to Dana Michele Greene (Bryan Rickert), Julie Allyson Greene McEver (AJ McEver), and Elisa Suzanne Greene Briles (Tyler Briles), and a proud grandmother to Ella Rylee McEver and Kaylen Tyler McEver, who brought her endless joy.

Lorrie held a multitude of positions throughout her life - working as a teacher, interior designer, and office move consultant. She also lent her artistic eye to Richard's professional spaces, designing all three of his offices - from the furniture to the art work, ensuring that the firm had a first class look.

A passionate advocate for art, education, and community, Lorrie founded NCC-NMWA (the Northern California Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts) and StreetSmart4Kids - Dine Out and Donate, an organization that brought restaurants and local communities together to support Bay Area children in need. She served on the Reed School District PTA, was a Marin Day School (now Bright Horizons Daycare) board member, and led the KQED Auction for several years.

Lorrie was a patron of the arts, a champion of women, and a trusted friend to everyone she met. Her incredible vibrancy, sense of style, warmth and generosity to everyone leaves a lasting imprint on her community and all who knew her.
