Patricia Elaine Greene

Patricia Elaine Greene passed away at her home on Friday, June 6 surrounded by those she
loved. She was 74 years old.
Pat is survived by her loving husband, Stephen S. Greene, whom she married on November 12,
1988; and his children, Jonathan Alexander Greene (Brooke), Richard Brian Greene (Alyson),
Kristin Allison Utley (Garth). She was preceded in death by her son, Marshall Edward Drye, Jr.,
and her parents, Floyd Ray Rummage, Sr., and Isabelle Needham Rummage.
Pat’s memory will live on through the lives of her five wonderful grandchildren; Douglas,
Marshall, Alder, Finnegan, and Alexandria; and her nieces and nephews whom she loved so
much. Pat’s child-like spirit and enthusiasm was contagious, and she could light up the world
with her smile and her hugs. Her warmth and love will be missed by all.
Pat was born in Albemarle, NC, on January 21, 1951 and was a 1969 graduate of North Stanly
High School. After high school, Pat began her career in banking as an employee of North
Carolina National Bank, later Nations Bank, and finally Bank of America. During her career at
Bank of America, she held many positions, retiring as the Senior Vice President of International
Division-Letters of Credit Department. She retired in December 2002. After moving to Boone,
North Carolina, Pat continued to work as Financial Manager at Appalachian Ski Mountain, from
2002-2012.
In her free time, Pat enjoyed gardening, tending to her flowers, particularly her favorite
Columbine in the spring and summer. Pat loved the ocean and the family took many vacations
together at the beach. She and Steve also loved to travel taking their adventurous spirits to
Europe and the United Kingdom. Pat and Steve also spent time basking in the Caribbean sun of
St. Lucia and Barbados. They also spent time in the northeast, as well as out west, taking
adventures through the Rocky Mountains from Colorado to Canada.
Pat loved spending time with her family. She is survived by her sisters, Barbara Mauldin
(Phillip), Sandy Anderson (Michael), and her brothers, F. Ray Rummage, Jr. (Penny) and Scott
Rummage (Lynn). Many weekends were spent at her mom’s home, filled with jigsaw puzzles,
card games, cooking, love, laughter, and just being together.
