Hallie
(Houts) Green was born on a farm in the very northwest corner of
Missouri on
December 15, 1913. Her sister was 3 years older and brother 4 years
younger.
Her father heard about the level plains of land available in Nebraska
and
purchased a farm, moving the family in 1921. The family attended church
and
Hallie accepted Christ as her Savior during her teens. After high
school she
taught in a rural school for four years. Wanting to be a nurse she
studied
Public Health Nursing at U of M. Her public health nursing was done in
Pierce
County, NE, where she met the one the Lord had for her life partner,
Ernest
Green. They were married in 1939. They had four children, Eldon (Lois)
Green of
TN, David (Cindy) Green of CO, Roger (Carol) Green of TX, Patricia
(Rev. Gary)
Cloud of OR and adopted daughter Beverly Wallace of MI; 12
grandchildren; 25
great grandchildren. Every Sunday they listened to Charles Fuller's
"Old
Fashioned Revival Hour". One Sunday while listening, Ernest received
the
call to be a full-time minister of the Gospel; Hallie was at his side
as he
pastored several churches. Then they spent 14 years as missionaries in
Congo,
Tanzania, Grenada and Barbados. Hallie's experience as both teacher and
nurse
were of great help in these years of ministry. After retirement Hallie
wrote a
book, "No Certain Dwelling Place", which relates their experiences
together in their service for the Lord. Hallie was preceded in death by
her
husband on March 13, 1999, six months short of their 60th wedding
anniversary.
A memorial service to celebrate Hallie's life will be held at 10 a.m.
Monday at
Rush Creek Bible Church, 2334 76th St., Byron Center, MI.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions
may be made to Grace Ministries International or Grace Bible College. |
