Lou Ellen Green

On August 29, 1936, God blessed C. B. Green and Mollie B. White Turner with a beautiful baby girl in Strong, Arkansas, and they named her Lou Ellen.

She accepted Christ at a very early age at the Pleasant Hill African Methodist Episcopal Church and, in later years united with the Curry Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Strong where she served on the Benevolent Committee and was the proud chairperson each year for the “Family and Friends Day” program.  She attended Gardner High School in Strong, Arkansas.  After high school, she began her work career with Dr. Cook in Strong, Arkansas, and with everything that she obtained from Dr. Cook, she furthered her medical knowledge to the Oak Ridge Nursing Home in El Dorado, Arkansas.  After leaving the nursing facility, she began work at the Conagra Poultry Company in El Dorado, Arkansas, where she retired in 1998.

Lou & Mother, as she was affectionally called by her family and friends, enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and her extended family.

Her pastime was going to church, cooking, fishing, and playing cards with the residents at the Christopher Homes Facility.

Her parents; children; Barbara Ann Moore, Bobby Lynn Shelton, her grandson Kenrico Moore, and her brother; Ernest Green, precede her in death. On Saturday, December 11, 2021, Lou Ellen departed this life at the Medical Center of South Arkansas in El Dorado, Arkansas.
