Judith Green Obituary

My brothers and I have such fond memories of visiting Grandma and Grandpa Green in Michigan over the summer growing up. They would always spend time with us, take us on "adventures", run errands together, and make delicious meals with Grandma. She was such a great hostess and did a wonderful job of gathering people. I also loved every chance she got to watch me play volleyball all the way up through my college career. I´m very thankful we got the time we did with her, and even more grateful she´s now reunited with Grandpa in heaven. I love you, Grandma, until we meet again

We are Rebecca´s parents. We first met Marvin and Judy in 1992 when Bill and Rebecca were first dating and we have enjoyed their friendship for over 30 years. We were welcomed many times to their Michigan homes in Farmington Hills around the pool and at Payne Lake. So many pleasant happy memories of them flood over us but some of the best are connected with their hospitality and Judy´s expertise in the kitchen. And among those were Judy´s legendary post-Thanksgiving turkey soup which we were privileged to enjoy many times. Ranking right up there are also the many Keylime pies she prepared. After we moved to Utah in 2013, Marv and Judy traveled west a number of times and we loved their visits out here. We also loved every minute of sharing the responsibilities of grandparenting Will, Audrey and Jack. We are blessed by God to have had them in our lives. Among their many achievements was raising a son like Bill who married our daughter and became our son as well. Our fond memories of them will linger forever.

I'm Bill's wife of 30 years and I owe Judy a debt of gratitude for raising the man of my dreams. From the beginning Mom accepted me as her own, and we had a very special relationship as she loved to call me her "only daughter" which touched my heart very time. Not only did she embrace me as part of the family from the outset, Mom welcomed my entire family into the mix and always included them with warm hospitality and consistent invitations to all family gatherings. Even though she was by far a better cook than I will ever be, she would always ask me to bring a salad to family meals and always said I made the best salads. That was high praise coming from her. I loved how Mom always spoke so highly of Bill, William, Audrey, and Jack, and I loved hearing her tell friends and strangers alike how proud she was of us and our kids. Even in her later years as she struggled with dementia, Mom was always so happy to see us, had such a sweet contentment, was quick to laugh, and gave the strongest hugs. We miss her dearly. So glad Mom and Dad are now reunited in heaven and that we will see them again someday.

Judy was a lovely person, my sister-inlaw and my friend. She had a soft heart. I´ll never forget that she cried when she heard Suzanne had cancer. They´ll be together again along with all the other family who were waiting for her. Fun times.

Sorry I couldn't see you more often but we were restricted in seeing you to two days a week and one was at lunch time where there was no privacy. Love you so much your brother Mark.
