Vivian Owens Greene, age 82, of White Pine, TN, decided she had finally had enough of us and went to be with her Heavenly Father on July 11, 2026. She was born September 29, 1943, in Fall Creek, Wilkes County, NC, to Herbert “Hub” Owens and Edith Waters Owens.

Vivian was a firecracker— witty, funny, strong-willed, and fiercely devoted to her family. Known as Mamaw to some and Gigi to others, she made her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren the center of her life. She loved without limits, protected without hesitation, and gave those closest to her the comfort of always having a place to come home to.

She was a member of White Pine Free Will Baptist Church.

Vivian is survived by her husband of 64 years, William Lonnie Greene, Sr., of White Pine, TN; sons William Greene, Jr. (Sarah), of Cooper Landing, AK, and Tim Greene (Kasandra), of Shelbyville, TN; son-in-law Lance Brown, of Clermont, FL; Judy Greene, mother of Ashley, Jamie, and William III; sisters Sandy Melaga, of Clemmons, NC, and Sharon Grider, of Millers Creek, NC; brothers Danny Ray Owens, of Morristown, TN, and Joe Owens, of Winston-Salem, NC; and close friends Brenda Cameron and Dorothy Kellione.

She is also survived by her grandchildren and their families: Alexys Brown, Clermont, FL; Halley Katsch-Williams Brown (Nick), Long Island, NY; Ashley Greene (Matthew Jones), with Lakely & Ronix, Bean Station, TN; Jamie Greene (fiancé Austin), with Olivia, Morristown, TN; William Greene III, Morristown, TN; Randall Greene, with Elliott, White Pine, TN; Natalie Greene, White Pine, TN; Linda Shaver (Dillon), with Allie, White Pine, TN; Elena, Germany; Nathan & Caylie, Cooper Landing, AK; Chase Greene (Mariajose), with Isla & Asher, Shelbyville, TN; and Chris Greene (Jennifer), with Vivianne & Murphy, Apalachicola, FL.

Vivian was preceded in death by her parents; ten siblings; daughter Yvonne Brown; son N. Randall Greene; and daughter-in-law Maija Greene.

She leaves behind generations who always knew they were loved, protected, and never too far from home.
