Lita Doreen Green, 66, of Newark, Delaware gained her heavenly wings on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at Christiana Care Hospital in Newark, Delaware. Born June 13, 1958, to the late Aldotha and Hilda Wilson in Kent County, Maryland.
Lita was educated in the Kent County Public School System. After High School, she held various jobs until she decided to broaden in horizon and attended and graduated from Fleet Business School in Annapolis, Maryland, with a degree in Business.

In 1984, Lita met the love of her life, Arthur. They were married on September 26, 1990, and from this union, two beautiful children were born.
“Cooley”, which was the name given to her by friends, because she was the coolest person to know, she would greet everybody with “Hey Cuz” with that infectious laugh she had. She got much joy in having people gather at her house, eat and playing cards, so she could talk smack. Whoever met her, fell in love with her joyful spirit and kindness.
Lita loved God with all her heart.

Mother Green was a cherished friend and former member of our church who often came home to worship with us. She was a strong tower and a great prayer warrior.
