Annie B. Green-Thomas

“We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be

present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8 NKJV

Annie B. Green-Thomas was born May 1, 1936, to the late John W. Green and Alberta

Gray-Green, in Yazoo County, Mississippi. She departed this life on Sunday,

September 27, 2026.

Ola, Erman, Levester, Rachel, Robert, Ernest, Bettye, John, Granvil, and Mildred; one

daughter, Georgia B. Thomas; one son, Johnnye E. Marshall; and her husband, George

Thomas.

Annie graduated from Linwood High School, Vaughan, MS. After graduation, she

children were born. Annie later returned home to care for her ailing mother. She was a

loving and caring person who took on the role of mother and grandmother to so many.

She accepted Christ at an early age and united with St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church

under the leadership of Rev. Nathan Frazier. She was a member of the choir and

served as the Choir President for many years. She and her sister, Mildred, loved

singing together during her early years. Annie was truly a dedicated member until her

health began to decline.

Annie leaves to cherish her legacy: two daughters, Loretta Green and Jacqueline

(Percy) Mitchell; one son, George (Angela) Marshall; 11 grandchildren; 26 great-

grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren; a niece, Tammye Green, who assisted her

as if she was one of her very own children; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and

friends.
