Estella C. Green
Estella Green (nee Warren)
Sunrise: March 31, 1927 – Sunset: December 19, 2020
Estella went to meet her Lord peacefully on December 19, 2020 and was greeted and embraced by her loving husband, Enos Green. Loving mother of Juliet (Austin), Movita, Richard, Warren (Deanna), Patricia (Andrew) and Angela (Peter). Cherished grandmother to Mathew (Amanda), Rochelle, Vanessa (Josh), Paige, Casey and Cody. Beloved great-grandmother to Tyrese, Qaleb and Adrianna, but affectionately called “Boobie” by everyone.
Estella was born in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica as a twin to a baby brother who unfortunately did not survive. At age 11, she lost her mother and was taken by her older half-sister, Amanda, to Kingston where she grew up. She married Enos on November 10, 1951 and migrated to England in 1956. In 1970 Estella, Enos and their six children emigrated to Canada. She worked as a domestic all while being a loving and attentive wife and mother.
She was married into the Catholic faith and committed to raising her children in the faith as well. At the age of 70, after the death of her husband, she made the decision to become Catholic herself and observed the Holy Sacraments of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation. Her faith and love in the Lord was strong, powerful and unwavering. It was the driving force behind her outlook on life, with her often using phrases like “it’s in the Lord’s hands” and “God willing”.
She will be deeply missed by family and friends near and far. Her tenacity, strong-will, feistiness, wittiness and devotion to family are all characteristics that will live on in each of our hearts and memories of her. She has left behind quite a legacy and we will proudly carry on the culture and values she engrained into each one of us with pride and admiration. If desired, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society.

During this time of loss and much sadness,
I pray that thoughts of “mom” will bring you comfort, joy, and yes, laughter. Although she is not here physically, a little piece of “mom” lives on in each of you. May God’s peace shine upon your family.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matt. 5:4)
