Mary Eloise Green

January 5, 1941 — November 19, 2022

Ms. Mary Eloise Green, 81, of Leesburg, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, November 19, 2022.


Funeral services will be conducted at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, November 22, 2022, at Leesburg United Methodist Church with Rev. Lee Smith officiating. Following the service, she will be laid to rest in the Leesburg Cemetery. The family will visit with friends one hour prior to the service at the church.


Born January 5, 1941, in Albany, Mary was the daughter of the late John Robert Green and Eloise Godwin Green. She spent her years dedicated to teaching the children of Dougherty County and spent many of those years at Mock Road Elementary School. She was a faithful and devoted member of Leesburg United Methodist Church where she was a member of the Cannon Sunday School Class, served as a volunteer financial office assistant, collected for Wednesday night suppers, was the secretary of her UMW circle, and helped tutor children in the Whiz Kids program. She also served in the community as a member of the Pilot’s Club and Silver Sneakers. Mary had a generous heart and was a lifetime supporter of St. Jude’s and Magnolia Manor. She enjoyed watching sports and was an avid Braves fan and loved the Georgia Bulldogs. She was a true asset to her community, loved the Lord, her church, and her students, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.


Those left to cherish her memory include her cousins, Buddy Reid (Marsha) of Eastpoint, FL, Kay Painter (Sid) of Calhoun, GA, and Catrena Reid of Milwaukee, WI; and her dear friend who was like a sister, Melanie Gahring Rathel of Leesburg.
