Nine days from her 107th birthday after an amazing life and leaving an unmatched legacy as an educator, trailblazer, community activist, wife, mother, grand and great-grandmother, and friend, Marie L. Greenwood left this world. As her youngest son, Jim, so eloquently said, "It is impossible to know all of the lives she touched throughout so many generations."

 

Rest in peace Mrs. Greenwood; we'll take it from here sharing your memorable stories and the life lessons you taught us with our community and beyond.
