Mavis Jane Green

Jane was born December 20th, 1933 in Wilmington, NC, daughter of the late Edward Arnold Orrell and Carrie Jane Wetherington Orrell.

Growing up, Jane loved going to the beach and bowling. She was on a bowling league with her husband where she was a bowling champion, even scoring a perfect 300. Jane loved her family more than anything. They were her passion more than any other hobby could be. She enjoyed watching them play sports, dancing, and getting everyone together during the holidays for big dinners. She had a heart of gold, a sense of humor unrivaled and the most beautiful smile you have ever seen.

Surviving are her son Edward Green and wife Julie and their children Jack, Eddie, Adam, Brad, Erin and Robin; daughter, Kim Blanchard and husband Billy and their children Jeremy, Molly and Bill; daughter Bonnie Callahan and her children Kimberly and Michael. She was also the proud great grandma to Sarah, Layla, Logan, Hootie, Cameron, Bella and Trace. She is also survived by her sisters Shirley Orrell, Sylvia Stoudenmire, Bonnie Sue Burriss, Judy Barnette and Carolyn Haggins.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Marvin Claire Green and brother Johnny Orrell.

A graveside service will be held on Thursday, July 29th at 2pm in Oakdale Cemetery by Rev. Larry Horrell.

The family will be receiving close friends and family at their home, 4606 Tall Tree Ln. following the funeral.

Beautiful Isle of Somewhere 

Somewhere the sun is shining somewhere the songbirds dwell

Hush then your sad repining God lives and all is well

Somewhere, somewhere beautiful isle of somewhere

Land of the truth where we live anew beautiful isle of somewhere

Somewhere the load is lifted close by an open gate

Somewhere the clouds are rifted somewhere the angels wait

Somewhere, somewhere beautiful isle of somewhere...
