Loretta Greene

Loretta Greene, 90, passed away peacefully with her daughters and son-in-law at her bedside on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at Hospice of the Valley Eckstein Center in Scottsdale, Ariz. Loretta was born on Feb. 7, 1928 in Chicago, Ill.

Loretta was outgoing and had a keen sense of humor and was very athletic in her younger days.

She worked at Western Electric and the American Can Company where she met and later married her late husband, Glenn who she was married to for 55 years until his passing in 2007. They were blessed with four children.

In 1963 they moved their family to Orland Park, Ill. Loretta worked for Mr. Ed’s IGA for several years. In 1996 the family relocated to sunny Scottsdale, Ariz. In 2011, Loretta moved to Brookdale Assisted Living where she met many new friends and enjoyed playing bingo and scrabble. She would reside there until 2016.

Needing more care and wanting her to be closer to them, the family moved her to an assisted living group home in Fountain Hills. After much failing health in the last two years Loretta decided to decline any further treatment and to go into Hospice. No longer in pain, she is finally at peace.

Loretta was a loving mother and grandmother. She was preceded in death by husband, Glenn and daughter, Diane. Survivors include her daughter, Susan Greene (Don) Anderson; son, Glenn (Susan) Greene; grandson, Stephen (Marsha) Dickens; granddaughters, Alicia and Cat Walker; great grandchildren, Indigo and Juno Dickens; sister, Josephine Honeman as well as cousins and many nieces, nephews and friends.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, AZ 85014. Condolences may be made at qohcfh.org.
