Gladys Mable Greene

WATERVILLE – It is with deep sorrow and enduring love that we announce the passing of Gladys M. (Carter) Greene, who departed this life on July 12, 2025, at the age of 80 with husband and both sons by her side. Born on Oct. 25, 1944, in Eastport, Gladys lived a life marked by compassion, quiet strength, and unwavering dedication to her family and community.

A mother, friend, and confident, Gladys was known for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and steadfast wisdom. She found joy in the simple things like cooking, spending time outdoors, four- wheeling, snowmobiling, going to the races and being around family and friends. Her contagious smile, laughter and calm presence brought comfort to those around her.

Gladys leaves behind her husband, Gerald Greene. On April 10, 1964, they married, and their story would continue for more than 60 years, touching so many throughout their journey. Gladys was incredibly hard working and devoted 30 years to the Hathaway manufacturing company. She was also very dedicated to Shaw’s for 11 years and when her husband retired from the Waterville Police Department, they opened a lawn care business that would allow them to work side by side in the great outdoors that she so enjoyed. Anytime Gladys was in the sunshine with birds and flowers around, she was smiling broadly.

Her legacy lives on through her two sons, their wives and two grandchildren, Timothy Greene, wife Jennifer and grandchild Garrett; Scott Greene, wife Tara and grandchild Charlie who carry forward her values of kindness, humility, and resilience. She taught us the meaning of grace under pressure and the power of love in action.

Gladys was predeceased by her father, Arthur Carter, mother, Carrie (Adams) Carter; and brother, Bernard Carter and is survived by brother, Timothy Carter and sister, Patricia (Carter) Dudley: with many nieces and nephews.

Family was so very important to Gladys, she was known for collecting every memory through photos and reminiscing about the good ole days. Gladys, we surely will miss your presence and are so grateful for the time we had with your, go rest high on that mountain.

Visiting will take place at Veilleux Redington Lawry Brothers Funeral Home 8 Elm St., Waterville, on Monday July 28, from 9 to 11 a.m. Burial will follow at St. Francis cemetery in Waterville.
