Viola Green

Viola Green was born on May 12, 1912, to George and Emma Mosley in Concord, Virginia. She quietly slipped away from us under the watchful eyes of our Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, whom she loved very much, on Friday, June 25, 2004, at the age of ninety-two.Viola became affiliated with Jehovah’s Witnesses in the early 1950’s and symbolized her dedication by water baptism in September 1952. Realizing the importance of her relationship with Jehovah she put her complete faith and trusts in him to the end of her life. Through the course of her faithful service she showed much love and concern for the spiritual and physical well being of her family and friends. One of her greatest joys was talking to others about the bible. Never missing from the meetings herself she was always encouraging others to attend. She looked forward to the Jehovah’s Witness assemblies and conventions. Viola often prayed for the oneness of the worldwide brotherhood.As a child, Viola was educated in the Appomattox County, Virginia public school system. Later she met and married Marvin Green, and they moved to Maryland. Four children were born to this beautiful union. A loyal wife to her husband, who proceeded her in death in 1989 and a loving mother to her children, she also showed concern for friend and others in the community.The unselfish person she was, she used her own life experience to help others. Though she was very quiet, she was extremely kind and generous. She was very ill, but she continued to go through life as if nothing was wrong. She never complained and was obviously uplifted by her faith in her creator.Viola is survived by her four children: Donald Green of Baltimore, Md., Barbara Brown of Baltimore, Md., Evelyn Dorsey of Columbus, OH. and Melvin Green of Baltimore, Md.; fifteen grandchildren, Donnell, Darren, Sharnetta; Deborah, Michael, Devin, Rhonda, Ira, Donna, Matt, Lee, Kelly, Tracey, Marvin and Kelvin; two sons-in-law, Avon Dorsey and Edgar Brown; two daughters-in-law, Margaret Green and Millie Green; one sister, Violet; twenty-six great grandchildren; caregiver, Judy Anderson; and a host of cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.
