Reverend Alfred M. Green, 78, passed away on Friday, July 26, 2024 at VCU Medical Center. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred Rice and Mary Hill Green and his wife, Betty Huffman Green. He is survived by his daughter, Mary Elizabeth “Beth” Green Tapocik (Shawn) and step-daughter, Sherry Saunders (Carson.)

Reverend Green served in Christian ministry with the United Methodist Church for 41 years. Throughout his years in the ministry Reverend Green devoted his time to the service of those in need of all ages. He particularly enjoyed working with youth and devoted numerous hours to promote the programs of the United Methodist Family Services. Reverend Green was an Army veteran and was committed to acknowledgement of our service men and women for their contributions to the protection of our nation’s freedoms. Reverend Green never met a stranger and was gifted at finding ways to get a smile out of anyone he met. After retirement Reverend Green enjoyed assisting other ministers, participating in the Main Street United Methodist Men’s group and spending time with his friend Tommy Harrison and the Harrison family. Known as “Appy” to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he spent as much time as he could in going on school field trips, visiting Busch Gardens and talking to everyone about their activities and accomplishments.
