No formal services will be held.
Born December 4, 1950, in Mecklenburg County, Gay was the daughter of the late Joe and Geneva Canaday. She was a devoted wife and loving caregiver, faithfully sharing 55 years of marriage with her husband, Jimmy Greene, who survives her. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews who cherished her presence in their lives and a special sister-in-law, Trudy Shaver.
Gay will be remembered as a kind and gentle soul who never met a stranger and always greeted others with a warm smile. She enjoyed computer games and Sudoku, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Her Christian faith was central to who she was, and she loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with her whole heart.
Stanly Funeral and Cremation of Albemarle is honored to serve the Greene family.
