Patricia Ann Greene

Patricia Ann Gillen Greene died unexpectedly while residing at Sunrise Senior Living at East Cobb on Thursday, May 7, 2015, in Marietta, GA, at the age of 83. She was involved in one of the activities she loved best in this world – getting her hair done and chatting with her hairdresser on a Thursday afternoon.

Patricia is survived by her daughter Patricia Maher of Pound Ridge, NY; her son William Greene of Roswell, GA; her daughter-in-law Susan Greene of Woodstock, GA; her grandson Gillen Greene of Atlanta, GA; her granddaughter Maura Greene of Woodstock, GA; her granddaughter Rachel Greene of Wantaugh, NY; her grandson Zach Greene of Wantaugh, NY; and her sister Helen Feeney of Colorado. She was proceeded in death by her beloved husband Marty and her beloved son Jimmy.

Patricia was born on July 23, 1931, in Brooklyn, NY, to Patrick and Helen Gillen. She graduated from Bushwick High School in 1947. Her first job was working as a secretary in the Empire State Building in Manhattan, NY. Patricia married Marty, the love of her life, in 1949. Together, they had three children and enjoyed 53 years of marriage together before Marty passed away in 2002. After her marriage to Marty, Patricia was a devoted wife and stay-at-home mom until she and Marty moved to Georgia in 1977 due to a job relocation for Marty with Argus Publishing. She began working for Argus along with Marty, and they both retired from the company in 1996. Patricia’s family and friends will always remember her as a kind and gentle matriarch with an adorable sassy side who always supported those she loved one hundred and ten percent while always encouraging them to pursue their goals and dreams.

A celebration of life memorial for Patricia is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2015, at Roswell Funeral Home in Roswell, GA. All are welcome to attend and celebrate a life well lived. The family will greet guests for a visitation at 10:00 a.m., and the funeral will be at 11:00 a.m., followed by a reception afterwards.
