On September 20, 2024, Joan Greene of Cocoa, Florida, went to be with her Lord. She was born March 11,
1949 to the late Russell and Lois Walser Greene of Boone.
Joan was a Registered Nurse and loved and cared for her patients with affection and empathy. When friends or
acquaintances learned of our relationship, they would tell us how Joan had cared for their family member or
friend, giving hands on love and attention to their loved one.
She had a strong faith and loved hearing and reading the Bible and praising the Lord in song. She was a special
person, dedicating her life to serving others - her family and friends and her patients and their families.
Joan is survived by her daughter Evelyn Sharpe of Boone, son Jonathan Sharpe of Cocoa, Florida, and
grandchildren Chloe, Addison, Paxton, and Maggie, brother Wayne Greene and wife Linda of Old Fort, and
sister Barbara Beach and husband Brent of Boone. Also surviving are nephew Michael Greene and wife Adena
of McGrady, and niece Brittany Jackson and husband Brian, of Vilas, and several cousins.
The family will receive friends in the Meadowview Room of Mount Vernon Baptist Church on Friday,
February 7, beginning at noon. Service will follow at 1:00 p.m. Officiating will be Rev. Bud Russell and Rev.
Brittany Jackson.
