Carolyn Kay Greene, 83, passed away on February 3, 2026, in her home surrounded by
her family and close family friends. She was a member of Indiana Avenue Baptist
Church. Kay was a pillar of faith with a servant’s heart. From her 36-year career as a
registered nurse, to her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, she
leaves a legacy of showing what enduring Faith in the Lord, kindness, and serving
should look like.
Beyond her service to others, Kay shared her gifts in quieter, tender ways. Her cooking
filled countless tables with warmth and togetherness. Her stories, laughter, and gentle
wisdom created memories that will be treasured for generations. She lived a life marked
by faith, kindness, and a deep love for her family.

Williams.
