Merceda Elaine Greene

Williamston

(Merceda) Elaine Greene, age 85, passed away September 6, 2016 in Haslett, MI. Elaine has been reunited with her beloved husband of 67 years, Fred Greene, who passed away on June 17, 2016. Elaine and Fred are soulmates and Elaine’s cause of death clearly was a broken heart.

Elaine was born July 3, 1931 in Redford MI to Clifton Powell and Henrietta Powell. She graduated from Northville High School and married Fred on November 26, 1949. Elaine was a cashier for a number of years and eventually became a real estate broker and practiced in Michigan and Florida. She approached life with a sense of fearlessness and was willing to take on any task.

Elaine took great pride in her family and was happiest during the many family reunions she attended over the years. Her love of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was a focus of her life. Elaine also was a great cook and enjoyed crafts.

Elaine is preceded in death by her husband Fred and her parents. She is survived by her four children: Cheryl (Keith) Johnson, Michael (Marie) Greene, Larry (Cathy) Greene, and Judy (Robert) McManaman; six grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren.

In accordance with Elaine’s request, a private family celebration will be held. Those desiring may make contributions to Hospice Compassus, 801 S. Waverly Road, Suite 200, Lansing MI 48917.
