The family will receive friends 5 – 7 pm, Friday, November 4, 2022, at Whitesell Funeral Home, Rock Hill, SC.  Burial will be private.

A native of Chester, SC, Mrs. Green was a daughter of the late Robert Coleman Varnadore and Sallie Augusta Anderson Varnadore.  She was born as a daughter of a tenant farmer.  She was a mother of three, but also any strays that happen to show up at her house. She raised her children mostly on her own.  She always made sure the family had food, shelter, and clothing.   She worked most of her life and retired from Armstrong World Industries of Charlotte, NC.  She was also a past employee of Shaw Carpet of Charlotte, NC.  When she did not agree with you her favorite saying was, “Bless your heart.”  She always had kind words for almost anyone.  She was a member of Woodhaven Baptist Church, Rock Hill, SC.  She was a big sports fan who loved the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Cubs. She was a fighter and has fought hard for the last few years against the diseases that attacked her.  See you at sunset, Mom!

Surviving are her four children, Mike Aldridge (Brenda), Barbara Aldridge Close, Sherri Aldridge Evans (Art), and Jimmy Price (Wanda); 8 grandchildren, Sheila Mangrum, Michelle Morgan, Dennis Smith, Chad Smith, Scott Close, Cara Augusta Close, John Close, and Mariah Close; 10 great grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews whom she adored.  She was preceded in death by her two husbands, John E. Price and Jerry Green; and all of her brothers and sisters.
