After graduation from Wilmington High School, she married her high school sweetheart Robert L. Greene on July 13, 1946. Together, they raised their family in Wilmington and ran their family business, Greene’s Servicenter, from 1963 until they retired.
Mrs. Greene was involved in Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Sunday school, and church choir. She even refereed field hockey games. As a teenager, she could be seen riding her horse around town.
