Ms. Sally was a faithful member of Erin Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where she demonstrated her deep love for the Lord by faithfully serving and caring for everyone she met. She especially loved quilting, and a beautiful example of her generosity was that she always kept an extra quilt on hand for anyone in need. During her working years, she was employed at Decatur Shirt Factory and the Newton Company, where she formed many lasting friendships and built meaningful relationships. Sally also had a special love for the Chapel Hill community, where she was affectionately known as the "Mayor of Chapel Hill."

The Greene family would like to express their thanks to the Staff of Bedford Care in Newton for their love and care over the years.
