Margaret Lucile Green , age 91, passed away on February 10, 2018 at Aspen Grove Assisted Living Center, Lambertville, MI. She was born on July 1, 1926 in Detroit to Kenneth Robert Hicks and Ruth Edna Doughty Hicks.

During WWII she worked for Detroit Edison. In 1945 she married her high school sweetheart, Forest Green, after he returned from England serving as a tail gunner on a B-17. Because of her marriage, she was required to quit her job, and she then became a homemaker and soon the busy mother of four sons. She returned to work at a doctor’s office when her youngest was in high school and retired when she was 83 because the doctors retired, closing the office.

She enjoyed traveling with the Nomads and her family on adventures to Europe, China, Hong Kong, Korea and many locations in the US. She took her granddaughters to Hawaii and they had a fun-filled trip together.

Her family joined Allen Park Presbyterian Church in 1953 when they moved to Allen Park. She was ordained a Deacon of the Church and volunteered many hours at the church office. She enjoyed attending the Church sponsored Camp Wakanda with her friends and always had a memorable time at the camp.
