An avid lover of animals and the outdoors, she was a devoted caretaker to her dogs, Moe and Bea. She enjoyed exercise, walking, and running.At work, Molly was considered “the smile of the department”. As many of her co-workers will testify, she was that and more. She would bring flowers to those whom she might know were having hard times, offer kind words of encouragement to those discouraged, or lend a listening ear to those who just needed to talk. Her sensitive heart went out naturally to those who were hurting or had a need. Her willingness to be available to her fellow staff members went beyond the confines of the work place and office hours. Even those who had retired from the department knew they could call Molly and count on her for assistance or a favor. Molly is survived by her husband Michael Greene; his parents, Becky and Ralph Greene; and his bother Joel. She is also survived by two sisters, Whitney Sexton (Tim), Clemson; Emily Atkinson (Maria), Columbia; her three nephews, Noah Atkinson, and Andrew and Matthew Sexton; and other maternal and paternal uncles, aunts, and cousins living out of state.She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents John and Lois Morgan, Memphis; paternal grandparents, George and Julia W.
