Karin Greene Obituary
She first worked 18 years at the Bureau of Business Practice in Waterford in human resources, then several years with Analysis & Technology in North Stonington in benefits and compensation, before a 15-year career as the Personnel Manager for Groton Public Schools. Upon retiring she then worked part time for several years with Sacred Heart University in Willimantic.
She is survived by four younger brothers and their families whom she adored: Bryan and Karen, Bill, Donald and Sherry, and David; as well as her stepson William Greene, his son Benjamin Greene; and her husband of 40 years Rod Greene.
Karin and Rod have enjoyed memories of their countless trips to the British Isles, their many camping trips to Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park, and came to love the Southwest. She loved to cook, read, watch English detective mysteries, and harmonize in song with Rod and his late brother Chip. Her voice in all things will be terribly missed.
A Memorial service for her at Mystic Congregational Church will be forthcoming in the new year.

My family was neighbor to the Schmidts when they live on Smith Avenue in Niantic during the 50´s. Karin was a classmate of my youngest sister. I remember her well and also helping her mother by taking Bryan for walks in his stroller. Unfortunately the families have lost contact over the years. May she rest in peace.

I met Karin and Rod in 1979, and I married Karin's life-long friend June. Karin was a special friend in ways too many and too dear to describe here, and her spirit will always be with us. Her Roddie was the best husband to her that a woman could hope for, and honored her in his love each and every day. She will be missed, and her memory forever cherished.

To Karen's loved ones,
Karen was a lovely lady who will be both remembered and missed. I had the pleasure of working with her at BBP.

Karin was my cousin who I didn't get to see very often, but she shared family stories with me and I cherish those memories that she had. Sending prayers to Rod and her brothers and family in this sad time. My husband, Ron, died 7 months ago so I am also dealing with sadness. Much Love, Marcia Petersen Miller
