Tania Ruth Greene

9/11/1961 - 9/28/2023

Tania Ruth Greene, 62, of Lincoln, NE passed away Thursday, September 28, 2023. She lived fully as a truly authentic, kind, intuitive and intelligent person.

Tania was born to Kjell and Venla Hallberg in 1961. The family moved much throughout her childhood – to Phoenix, Albuquerque, Sweden – finally settling in Hastings, NE. In the late 1980’s Tania moved to Lincoln to start a business as a manicurist. Here she fine-tuned her exemplary listening skills. Tania’s many professions had “design” as a commonality – graphic arts, manicuring, floral design, filmmaking, etc. She fully embraced being a college student, ending up with 3 B.A.’s (Art, Fine Art, Film and New Media Studies). Tania belonged to Mensa, a group for persons with gifted IQs.

In 1992, Tania met Todd, her soul mate. They married in 1999. In 2004 Tania was thrilled to be the lead make-up artist for the full-length film, Almost Normal. More recently, Tania fully enjoyed doing make up and costumes at the Lied Center for shows such as Jagged Little Pill and Hamilton. In the last 5 years, Tania thoroughly loved her full-time position, and those she served, at Live Yes Studios. She put her whole heart and soul into these endeavors.

Tania never met an animal that she did not like, and who did not like her. She doted on many pets throughout her life. Her soul had a life-renewing and life-enhancing quality that many were naturally drawn to. Tania also made long-lasting friendships wherever she worked or lived. She returned to Sweden several times to visit persons she had befriended years before. Her many friends loved her genuineness, compassion, listening skills, intuition, sense of humor, honesty, and infectious laugh.

A non-materialist, Tania preferred to consult her intuition and/or God’s guidance on her paths in life. She respected, and enjoyed connecting with, persons from all walks of life. Tania celebrated uniqueness and inherent worth in herself and others. She would wish for her life, and other’s lives, to be celebrated. Tania Greene brought out the best in people.

Tania is preceded in death by her parents, Kjell and Venla Hallberg. She is survived by her husband Todd, sister Angela Lindeen, nieces Savannah and Alexandria Lindeen, nephew Nathaniel Lindeen, and many in-laws. Memorials may be given to Live Yes Studios, 1935 Q St., Lincoln, NE 68503.
