Ola Mae Green

Ola Mae Green was born on August 25, 1929, to Addie Leona Williams Carter and Andrew Franklin Carter, in Lone Oak, Hunt County, Texas. She spent 93 years, two months, and 26 days giving and serving God and family on this earth, then quietly went Home on November 19, 2022. She graduated from Lone Oak High School, and on September 17, 1947 after which she married Orval Earl Green - a charming, handsome and highly decorated Army soldier. Ola and Orval welcomed four sons: Kenneth Earl Green, Robert Keith Green, Norman Dale Green, and Michael Glenn Green. When the boys were all in school, she began work at Big Town Nursing Home as a Medical Aide. Caring for seniors quickly became a passion, and she followed it until the boys were grown and grandchildren came along. She took time off from nursing to babysit every grandchild until each one was in school (and older when it was needed). When she decided to go back to “real work” as she called it, she went into retail. She soon decided she would rather help babysit the great-grandchildren until they were in school. Ola finally retired, and immediately went into volunteer work at Windsor Nursing Home in Terrell. She was a great favorite with the residents until she decided to finally retire. Ola was a charter member of Hillcrest Baptist Church of Kaufman where she served and loved her Lord faithfully. Ola was preceded in death by her husband, Orval Green, after thirty-nine years of marriage. She was also predeceased by her parents, Leona and Andrew Carter, her beloved brothers: Jerry Carter, and his wife Linda, Bobby Carter and his wife Wynelle; her only sister, Mattie Faye Allen; twin granddaughters, Cynthia and Delanie, and daughter-in-law Pam Green, wife of Norman. Ola is survived by another beloved brother, Melvin Earl Carter and his wife Sarah. She leaves behind four loving sons: Kenneth, Robert and his wife, Patt, Norman, and Michael and his wife, Hazel. She had six grandchildren: Kenny Green and his wife, Carmen, Robert Green, II and his wife, Amy, Kimberly Valentine, Stephanie Walker and her husband, Keith, Melinda Green, Brandon Green and his wife Ashley. Ola is also survived by seventeen great grandchildren and eleven great-great grandchildren, all of whom loved their Mamaw. She also leaves a host of nieces and nephews to whom she was simply "Aunt Mae". Her many friends will remember her as Ola Mae. Funeral service will be at 2:00pm, Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at Max Slayton Funeral Chapel with interment to follow at Highland Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends beginning at 1:00pm to service time.
