Marjorie Annette Craft Green

Marjorie Annette Craft Green, age 93, of Newton, North Carolina, went home to be with Jesus, her Messiah, on November 1, 2025, peacefully asleep and in her own bed. The thirteenth of fourteen children, she was born to Henry Craft (1888-1973) and Grace Langfield (1891-1979) on July 5, 1932 in Macomb County, Michigan. Marjorie was the devoted wife of 59 years to Major Earl Green, a 35-year veteran of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. She was a committed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and a virtuous woman whose “price is far above rubies” (Proverbs 31:10), always teaching the younger women “to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children” (Titus 2:4) and adorning “the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (I Peter 3:4). Marjorie was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother; a servant to many in need; a lover of hospitality; a perpetual student of the Word of God; and a faithful member of her local church (New Testament Christian Fellowship of Claremont, NC). She spent the last thirteen years of her life “a widow indeed” (I Timothy 5:5), diligently following every good work (I Timothy 5:10), speaking the Word of God and ministering to others of the abilities which God had given to her (I Peter 4:11). From the age of 82, she took up the study of martial arts and was beloved in her dojo, Catawba Valley Martial Arts of Hickory, NC. On her 90th birthday, she was awarded the rank of honorary black belt and continued to physically train with those she loved until her mobility greatly diminished. Marjorie was loved by many around the world who counted her prayers and support on their behalf a true anchor in these troubled times. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Earl Taylor Green (1928-2012); her beloved son-in-law, Paul Michael Boyd (1952-2023); six brothers and five sisters. She is survived by her twin brother, Martin Craft (93); an older brother, Thomas Craft (98); her three children—Theresa Green Boyd (Paul, deceased), Earl Baron Green (Ann), and Glenn Thomas Green; five grandchildren; and fourteen great grandchildren.
Marjorie Green lived a long and fruitful life and was faithful to the very end. She was ready to meet the Lord when she went to bed on October 31, 2025. Are you ready today?
