It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Betty Joyce Greenman, who left us peacefully on August 29, 2025. Born on March 30, 1926, in Marinette, Wisconsin, Betty lived a full and vibrant life, ultimately calling Middletown, Rhode Island, her home but always maintained a passion for the Greenbay Packers. Betty was a dedicated parishioner of St. Lucy's Church which she loved attending Mass on Sunday's and Holy Day's of obligation with family members.
Betty was not just a beloved mother, but also a dedicated professional in food service at the U.S. Navy Base, where her passion for nourishing others shone brightly. She was known for her warm smile, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to her family. Betty also loved managing her apartment house which took a geat deal of her time. Mostly because, she was too friendly with her tenants and neighbors. She also enjoyed doing her yard work, shopping and maintaining her overall independent life style. She would always remind everyone about the "power of prayer" in our lives. She is truly one of a kind and will be deeply missed.
