Linda Faye Minter-Green

Linda Faye Minter Green, affectionately known as “Mama Green”, entered eternal rest peacefully on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 in Tampa, Florida. Linda was born on February 13, 1950 in Durham, N.C to Ethel Mae Bynum of Pittsboro, NC and the late Alfred Eddie Minter of Sanford, NC. She graduated from Chapel Hill High School and Johnson C. Smith University, where she excelled both academically and athletically. On June 29, 1974, she married David Green, Sr. and to this union three delightful energetic boys, who are her PRIDE and JOY, were born. Although Linda reside in Tampa, FL, her membership remain at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte. Linda was always a hard worker and dedicated employee. From 1972- 1989 she served as a customer service representative for Eastern Airlines reservation’s department. She was recognized on several occasions as an exceptional employee, and built many lifelong friends whom she considers family to date. From 1989-1993 she transferred her leadership, tenacity, and drive to a startup Multi-Level Marketing Company called L’Rome International, where she supervised a sales and marketing team. In 1993, she became an Administrative Assistant at FDY, INC. catering service where she completed her working career. Linda’s interests over the years included being a mother to ALL! She was the team Mom, served as PTA President at Briarwood Elementary School, and held numerous board roles on the Charlotte Youth Athletic Club (CYAC), an organization that was the cornerstone for youth athletics for the neighborhood kids. Linda was the epitome of God’s LOVE! She loved unconditionally regardless of race, creed, or color, and never met a stranger. Her affection for people was infectious; she could bring the masses together in spite of any differences. She had a huge heart, comforting smile, vibrant personality, and a joy for life that attracted all that she came in contact with. Linda always enjoyed entertainment with family and friends. She had an opportunity to spend her last days doing what she loved best: spending time with her family at her grandsons’ basketball tournaments. As an active parent and grandparent she never missed a play by play in her children’s lives and was always PROUD of their accomplishments on and off the field. Those who know Linda knew that her children and grandchildren were her world, and were her reason for living. Linda leaves to cherish her precious memories: Mom, Ethel Mae Bynum of Charlotte, her three adult sons: David, Jr. of Charlotte, NC, Darin (Nena) of Tampa, Florida, and Derek of Secaucus, New Jersey; six grandchildren: Daja, Danae, Darin Jr, Trey, Dayana, and Dailyn; one great-granddaughter, Ta’Kyrah Morrison; siblings Alfreda Watson of Charlotte, NC, Eddie Minter of Sanford, NC, and Larry Minter of Bynum, NC; a special daughter-like niece, Lorie Minter & other loving Nieces & Nephews, & a host of Friends.
