FORT ANN – It is with great sadness and heartbreak that the family of Patricia L. Greene, 65, announce her passing, after a heroic battle with cancer, surrounded by family and holding hands with her boys.
Patricia “Patty” was born March 2, 1960, in Fort Ann. The daughter of Ruth Marie and the late Harry C. Flint. She had a long and respected career as a Supervising Claims Adjuster, serving forty-two years at Continental; Travelers; Encompass before her retirement.
Patty would tell you her greatest accomplishment in life was her beloved boys, Jimmy and Jeff, who were so very proud to have her as their mother and who she loved so very much. 2021 gave her a sweet and supportive daughter-in-law, Calynn. Her life grew more blessed with grandchildren Jaxin, Eastin, Zaydin and Melina, her pride and joy who she lovingly referred to as Jax, E, Zay, and Baby Girl. She fought hard to stay with them to the end, a brave and tough battle she wanted to win for them.
Within an Irish family came five sisters and a brother, a crazy bunch who love as hard as they bicker. Any one of them would tell you Patty was the kind quiet force that somehow kept them connected. She was a cherished aunt to several nieces and nephews, the one they could call to watch their game, get them out of trouble or help them get in some! As the life of the party, Patty was always up for a trip someplace warm, a backyard BBQ, a family game of cards or a trip to the casino with the girls. She also took pride in the plethora of friends who were as close as family. Heaven got the best; May the Road Rise to Meet You Our Beloved Patricia.
Patty is predeceased by her father, Harry Flint, her brother-in-law, William White and her nephew Mychael Flint, and Lawrence Murphy.
