Elizabeth Green

Schenectady- Mrs. Elizabeth Green, daughter of the late Norwood Burnett Herring and Lula Etta Jacob Herring was born on October 3, 1959, in Newburgh, NY in Orange County. She attended public schools in Newburgh, New York, and was a graduate of Newburgh Free Academy.

She was united in holy matrimony to the late Ronald E. Green on March 17, 1979, in Newburgh, New York. This union was blessed with two children. Mr. Ronald E. Green preceded her in death on December 4, 2023.

Elizabeth while attending Newburgh Free Academy enrolled and completed the 3 year Air Force Jr. Reserved Officer Training Corp with NY-95 (AFJROTC). Before and after graduation Elizabeth would assist in the family business, “Tiny’s Deli”, located at 56 Landers Street in the City of Newburgh, and would go on to join her husband Ronald who served active duty as a US Army Military Police Officer from May 5, 1979 to May 5, 1982.

They returned to New York and eventually moved to the Capital Region of New York settling beyond the pines in Schenectady. Elizabeth worked several years with the Schenectady City School District nutrition and food services and then moved on to retail merchandising as a sales manager at Filenes providing many years of service.

She always enjoyed visiting family, attending gatherings, putting on a barbeque or fish fry, traveling, entertaining family and friends, enjoying the outdoors on the front porch, the back yard or by a riverbank fishing with her family.

She quietly left this life on July 31, 2024, at her daughter’s home with family members by her side as a summer thunderstorm moved in, darkening the once sunny sky and rumbling thunder from behind the clouds as to mask her departure.

Elizabeth’s precious life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children, Shamika and Stephanie Green both of Schenectady, New York, her four grandchildren Chantal, Dyani, Nauquan, Siobhan of Schenectady, New York, brother-in law Lamont (Arlene) Garner, Jonathan Whitted, sisters-in law, Denise Ray and Clara Green, and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Elizabeth was preceded in death by her five sisters Annie Odoms, Louise Jacob Dobson, Angie Lee Herring, Margaret Amos, and Bessie Herring Clark.
