Wynette Green Obituary (1933

Born in Waco, TX 5/28/1933 - Passed away at home in Midlothian 10/16/2019 at the age of 86. Wynette moved to Dallas at the age of 6 where she met the love of her life as a young pre-teen at a costume party, Don Green. In May of 1950 she turned 18, graduated from Adamson High School and married Don. She always joked that she missed the 50's while being pregnant, having, and raising 4 children, Larry, Marcie, Lonnie and Brian. She was mostly a stay at home mom but did work several part time jobs which would still allow her to be home when the children got home from school. Wynette raised her family at Wheatland United Methodist Church in Dallas before moving to Midlothian in 1972. She attended Midlothian United Methodist Church and later joined the Midlothian Bible Church. She loved children and served for many years as a Sunday school teacher. She also worked with Mission Midlothian as an after-school volunteer. Wynette was a lady of many talents but writing seemed to be her passion. She self-published a mystery novel "The Dandelion Clock" which takes place on Jekyll Island, which she visited twice, to be sure the geographic depiction was accurate. She also self-published "Nuts and Bolts" which is a combination of her Father's poetry and her own. The family always looked forward to her Christmas cards that contained an original Christmas poem. As mentioned, she loved to travel, especially to NYC where she saw around 20 Broadway musicals. She was one of a kind - a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, mother-in-law and Mama Green to all. We love her so much and she will be terribly missed!
