Mildred Green

Mildred Green known affectionately as Ms. Mildred she was, and will always be remembered as a woman of great faith. On May 18, 2020, at the age of 90, our beloved mother Mildred Green departed this earth to be with the Lord. She was born in New Orleans to the late Josephine Taylor-Brown and Robert Alexander. Ms. Mildred spent her younger years in 9th Ward of New Orleans where she met and married Eddie Green, Sr. Together, they had 15 children. Later, as a single mother, Ms. Mildred forged on and provided for her family, loving and sacrificing unconditionally. Ms. Mildred was a pillar of her community, a strong matriarch, and the anchor of her family. Although not formally educated, Ms. Mildred was a woman of intellect, known for her wise words and sound advice. Her home was a place to find support, comfort, acceptance, and most of all love. She opened her heart and arms to her family and her community. She would have a house full of people on any day of the week and she loved having ‘company’. Ms. Mildred’s pride was in her family and trying to be the best mother she could be. She would always say “all I got is my family”, and she relished in their love and closeness. Her loving smile was infectious and heartwarming and she had a witty sense of humor; even when she was not feeling her best. She was preceded in death by her parents Josephine Taylor and James Brown, Sr.; brother James Brown, husband Eddie, Sr., sons Eddie Jr, Michael, Edward, and James; and daughter Mildred. She leaves to cherish her sweet memory daughters, Gloria, Elaine (Carlos), Barbara, Deborah (Charles), and Diane (Lawrence); sons Charles, Aaron (Wendy), Darryl, and Andre’; over 40 grandchildren, and a host of great and great-great-grandchildren to carry on her legacy of love for family. The family held a private service on Saturday, May 23, 2020. Interment: Restlawn Cemetery. Arrangements by D.W. Rhodes Funeral Home.
