Jerry Woodrow Green

March 21, 1969 - May 26, 2013
SOUTH BEND - Mr. Jerry Woodrow Green departed from this life at 3:00 a.m. Sunday, May 26, 2013, at the age of 44. Jerry Woodrow Green was born on March 21, 1969, in South Bend, Indiana, to the union of Elores (Phillips) and Perry William Green.

His parents preceded him in death along with a sister, Kathy Young, and a niece, Crystal Young. Jerry graduated from LaSalle High School in 1987.

Jerry was employed at the Slaughter House and for 12 years worked at Deco Chemical. Jerry also served his country in the United States Army for 15 years.

Jerry loved people and helped anybody and everybody. He also made people laugh, telling his jokes and stories. He was a man of pride, dignity, courage and strength. The kind of strength it takes to raise a family; the kind of courage it takes to help anyone in need without asking for anything in return; the dignity to suffer and refuse to be a burden to anyone; and the pride to hold his family together at any cost.

Jerry leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 19 years and lover of 25 years, Olia Jean Green; three children, Edward (Andrea) Smith, Joyce Montague and Orlando Smith; eight grandchildren; a sister, Rosie Griffin; two brothers, Perry Green Jr. and Timothy (Michelle) Green; mother-in-law, Classie (Richard) Johnson; sisters-in-law, Dieann Montague, Andrea Montague; five aunts, Juanita Dickerson, Barbara Switzer, Mary (Lucy) Oliver, Margie Phillips and Loren Lax; and uncle, Louis Phillips; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other family and friends. "Jerry will be missed, but we know God makes no mistakes."

Funeral services for Jerry Woodrow Green will be held at 12 noon Saturday, June 1, 2013, at Alford's Mortuary where arrangements have been entrusted. Interment will take place at Marion National Cemetery. Friends may call at Alford's Mortuary one hour prior to the services.
