Delores Green

DELORES VIRGINIA GREEN affectionately known as “Mommy, “Ma” and “Ma Ma” was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 3, 1932 to Verle and Virginia Carter. She passed away after a brief illness at home with her devoted daughter, Charlene by her side on January 27, 2025, leaving a void her family cannot fill. After completing her education in Pennsylvania, Delores moved to Baltimore, MD where she was introduced to Private Logan Green. After a brief courtship, the two married in a small ceremony surrounded by family and friends. The two were married for over 60 years before he passed away on January 24, 2021. Delores was a devoted wife until the end. Delores always had a love for children. Because of this love, she became a childcare provider and lovingly provided care for many children for over 30 years. She was so loved that many of the children in her care called her “Ma”. They would often come back as adults to visit her. She even provided care for many of their children. Often times there were single moms that could not afford to pay and she would say, “Just pay me when you can.” It was never about the money for her. That is how big her heart was. She had a love of horror movies, old school gospel music and Lionel Richie. My oh my, she loved Lionel Richie! Delores took special joy in being a mother and grandmother, and had fond memories of throwing birthday parties, Halloween parties and big Christmas celebrations. She was so funny, smart, and generous and had the most amazing sarcastic comebacks to our shenanigans. She was our North Star. Whenever we needed guidance, advice, or reassurance she was the one that was called. We will never forget the love and light that she brought to our lives. What a gift it was to love and be loved by such an amazing woman. Her husband Logan, children Sherman and Sharon, and her brother Gene preceded Delores in death. She is survived by her children, Charlene (Robert) and Kevin (Valencia); grandchildren, Ebony, Latoya (Garry), Kevin, II (Aliya), Krysten (Michael), Ricardo, Marcus (Shawnie), Michelle and Roshawna; great-grandchildren, Jamaal, Kiara, Wade, Mackenzie, Markia, Kevin, III, Kavin, Khrystian, and Kyree; great-great-grandchildren, Jamaal, III and Mylan; nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives.
