Mary Louise Green, a beloved resident of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the age of 91. Born on October 1, 1934, in Westpoint, Tennessee, to the late Madison Knox Green and Willie Pennington Green, Mary was a cherished member of her community.
Mary is survived by her daughter, Ruth (Rance) Church of Huntsville, Alabama, and her three grandsons: Jason (Xin) Holland, Justin (Margaret) Holland, and Carter Church. She also leaves behind four cherished great-grandchildren: Noah Holland, Rylen Holland, Eloise Holland, and Della Holland, all of whom lovingly knew her as “Nanny”, and niece, Catherine Beuerlein.
Mary was a graduate of Lawrence County High School in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, and Columbia Business College in Columbia, Tennessee. She retired from Redstone Arsenal, where she worked as a contract specialist. She was a longtime member of East Huntsville Church of Christ.
Mary found joy in shopping, crocheting, her jewelry, and gardening, and she especially loved the Christmas season and its traditions. She lived alongside her sister Waymon, who was also her best friend. Above all, Mary treasured time with her family, especially visiting with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, never letting them leave without a hug.
The family would like to express sincere appreciation to the memory care staff at Regency Retirement Village for their care and compassion over the last four months. They also extend heartfelt thanks to Compassus Hospice, especially Sarah and Morgan, for their guidance and support. Finally, no words can fully express the gratitude felt for Leslie Cares Group. Kendra, Angela, and Dana worked closely with Mary and her family to help her retain her independence at home for as long as possible.
