Phyllis Greene

July 9, 1939 — March 15, 2022

Phyllis Stewart Greene went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 15, 2022. She was 82.
Born in Charlotte, NC, Phyllis attended Derita Schools and at the age of 13, she gave her life to
Jesus Christ and committed herself to Him. She graduated from North Mecklenburg High School in 1957 where she was Secretary of the Student Body, Head Cheerleader, a Beta Club member and voted “Most Outstanding” in her class. She furthered her education at Trinity Bible College in Clearwater Florida where she met the love of her life, Eddie Greene. They were married in 1959, and dedicated their lives together in Christian service. They had one child, a daughter, Kristie. Phyllis was a loving pastor’s wife and served alongside her husband of 54 years in churches throughout South Carolina, including Ruby, Bethune, Anderson, and Greenville. Phyllis was a homemaker and worked for Furman University for 15 years and later part-time at McDougald Funeral home in Anderson. She and Eddie retired to Surfside Beach, SC, and for 10 years, she was a familiar face at Lakewood Campground in their Trading Post gift shop. Together they enjoyed teaching in the “Good News Club,” an afterschool program for elementary students. They were members of First Baptist Church of Myrtle Beach. Phyllis loved working in the yard and planting flowers. She was very creative, had a talent for design, and often said she would have pursued that as a career, but knew she was meant to be a pastor’s wife. As a devoted wife and mother she was content to stay “behind the scenes,” supporting both her daughter and husband in their pursuits. Phyllis will be remembered for her love of Jesus Christ and spreading His gospel, her sense of humor and sharp wit, and her impeccable style.

She is survived by her daughter, Kristie Greene, and granddaughter, Anna-Davis Lee, of Surfside Beach, SC.

A graveside service will be held in celebration of her life and to honor Jesus Christ on Saturday, March 19, 2022, 2:00 P.M. at Hopewell Presbyterian Church Cemetery, 10500 Beatties Ford Road, Huntersville, NC.
