husband Robert Charles Green in 2000.

great-grandson Ezra.

Barb moved to Ionia from Detroit in 1966 with her husband; instantly falling in 
love with the city, people and beautiful nature in the countryside. Barb was 
employed at the Ionia Manor (now SKLD) of Ionia from 1974, then retired to join 
the State of Michigan Commission on Aging in Ionia, continuing to work from home 
part time during the Pandemic until her health started failing, retiring in 
September 2022.

She enjoyed baking, gardening, creating wonderful meals, craft shows, and the 
beach. She was skilled at canning and freezing, and loved spending time with her 
family, friends and pets. Barb loved all animals and nature.

She taught Sunday School for many years at the First Baptist Church, she enjoyed 
ushering with her friends during Fair Week and filling in as first aide nurse 
"Under the Grandstand."

The Entire Green Family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the 
staff of SKLD Ionia. The professionalism, genuine caring and dedication to Mom's 
rehabilitation was a blessing.

Special appreciation is also given to Sparrow Ionia. The excellent level of 
hospice care provided to Mom, and the comfort and kindness offered to her family 
were truly exceptional. A Celebration of life is scheduled for Spring 2023.
