Maggie Ree

(Thomas) Green

On Wednesday, May 4, 1927, in Chipley, Florida, God gave John and Minerva Thomas the great task to guide, nurture, protect and love a beautiful baby girl, Maggie Ree (Thomas) Green

Being raised in a Christian Home, Maggie accepted Christ as her personal savior at an early age and became a member of Grant Tabernacle A.M.E. Church of Chipley, Florida, where she served faithfully until her health failed her. She attended the public school system of Washington County of Chipley, Florida. She worked for Bill and Sylvia Webb for numerous years, later becoming employed with the Washington County Nursing Home, retiring in the Housekeeping Department.

She was married to the late James Potter and to this union three children, Lois, Dorothy, and Earl, were born, all of whom preceded her in death. They also reared three grandchildren, Lisa, Libby, & Scott in the home. Later in life she married the late Hover Green.

She loved her family, who deeply loved her in return. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, great-grand's, great-great grand's, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In the late afternoon of Wednesday, March 4, 2015 in the Northwest Florida Community Hospital of Chipley, Florida, God saw fit to call Maggie home, where she would be free from all the troubles of this world. She was preceded in death by her grandson, Eric Patton.
