Kathy Greene

Kathy Bradley Greene, age 59, of the Pleasant Gardens Community, departed to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, February 04, 2020 at CarePartners Hospice Solace Center in Asheville following a courageous battle with cancer.  Her loved ones were by her side.  Born in Yancey County, North Carolina on April 17, 1960, she was the daughter of Elizabeth Bradley Cooper of Marion and the late Gornie Royce Bradley. 

In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by two infants; and her sister, Amy Denese Bradley.

Having had a great love for the Lord and His word, Kathy was an amazing nurse and enjoyed caring for her patients.  In her spare time, she enjoyed running, riding her performance bicycle; and was an author of a children’s book.  Most of all, Kathy loved spending time and making memories with her sons and grandsons. 

Left to cherish her memories, are her mother, Elizabeth Bradley Cooper; her step father, Wade Cooper; two sons, Jonathan Blake Greene (Hannah) and Bryan Keith Greene (Francis); three grandsons, Isaiah Keith Greene, Lincoln Theodore Greene and Damian Alexander Greene; four sisters, Pamala Bradley Poteat (Joel), Kimberly Bradley Gant (Jim), Julia G. Bradley and Elizabeth Bradley Davis (Luke); one step sister, Sherri Taylor; and one step brother, Shaun Taylor.  Kathy is also survived by two nieces, Carrie Denise Poteat and Elizabeth Grace Davis; and two nephews, Daniel Paul Grindstaff and James Cooper Davis.

A celebration of Kathy’s life will be held on Sunday, February 09, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. at Solid Rock Free Will Baptist Church, 7856 Hwy 226 South in Nebo, with Pastor J.B. Cope officiating.  The family will receive friends from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m., prior to the service, at the church.

Those wishing to make a memorial donation in Mrs. Greene’s memory are asked to consider, Solid Rock Free Will Baptist Church’s Memorial Bibles, 7856 Hwy 226 South, Nebo, North Carolina 28761.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Kathleen Smothers at Marion Wellness and the staff of CarePartners Hospice & Palliative Care for the extraordinary care and compassion they provided Kathy and her family during her time of illness.
