Lorene Corese Green

Lorene C. Green entered this world on June 26, 1932 to the late Evelyn and Samuel Anderson of King William County Virginia. She joined her older siblings James, Rosell, Sherman, and Janie Anderson. The family would continue to grow with births of her younger siblings Samual, Violet, Douglas, and Elaine Anderson, all being baptized and raised in the Mangohick Baptist Church in Hanover Virginia. As a child, Lorene’s sisters remember how she loved playing in the mud with them after the rain, and working in their garden. Schoolmates at Hamilton Holmes High School ,where she attended, recalls her as having a positive attitude and always wanting to cheer everyone up if they were down. December 15, 1950 she married Robert L. Green in Ashland, Virgina. The two proud parents welcome the birth of their first child, Diane Loreatha Green, in 1951. Relocating temporarily to Philadelphia Pennsylvania for work, Lorene and Robert would go on to create two new lives together, Yvonne and Robert Green. In the late 50’s, they ventured out of Philadelphia and settled in the Bronx where they would again, happily, welcome the birth of their forth and fifth children, Elysa and Richard Green. Lorene was a member of Tried Stone Baptist Church and Grace Baptist Church both located in the Bronx NY. Lorene found full time work on Wards Island as a Domestic Caretaker, and a part time House Keeping position at a doctor’s office in downtown Manhattan. She would continue to work at both places of employment for over 25 years until retirement at the age of sixty two. The Boston Secor Houses would be the home of Lorene and her family for over 40 years. During the later years of her life, Lorene resided in Teaneck New Jersey, with her daughter. While there, she attended Community Baptist Church in Englewood, NJ . When she wasn’t able to attend physically, she was provided a dvd of the service that she missed. Lorene loved the Lord, her faith was very strong. And this she would often share with her children and grandchildren. No matter the circumstance, she always wanted you to persevere and stay strong, because she knew that the Lord would never give you more than you could bear.
