On November 11, 2025, Jesse Boyd preached the funeral service of Marjorie Craft Green (1932-2025), his beloved 93-year-old grandmother. She went home to be with Jesus early on the morning of November 1, 2025 peacefully and in her own bed. Her last morning on earth, the day before, was spent in the Word of God and in corporate prayer with sisters in Christ via Zoom. During her last afternoon on earth, she seized an opportunity to witness for Jesus. Her last evening on earth involved a surprise visit from her grandson, and her last conversation on earth was with him about the things of the Lord.

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them” (Revelation 14:13).

Marjorie Annette Craft Green, age 93, of Newton, North Carolina, went home to be with Jesus, her Messiah, on November 1, 2025, peacefully asleep and in her own bed. The thirteenth of fourteen children, she was born to Henry Craft (1888-1973) and Grace Langfield (1891-1979) on July 5, 1932 in Macomb County, Michigan. Marjorie was the devoted wife of 59 years to Earl Taylor Green, a 35-year veteran of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. She was a committed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and a true and virtuous woman whose “price is far above rubies” (Proverbs 31:10), always teaching the younger women “to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children” (Titus 2:4) and adorning “the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (I Peter 3:4). Marjorie was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother; a servant to many in need; a lover of hospitality; a perpetual student of the Word of God; and a faithful member of her local church (New Testament Christian Fellowship of Claremont, NC). She spent the last thirteen years of her life “a widow indeed” (I Timothy 5:5), diligently following every good work (I Timothy 5:10), speaking the Word of God and ministering to others of the abilities which God had given to her (I Peter 4:11). She was loved by many around the world who counted her prayers and support on their behalf a true anchor in these troubled times.

Marjorie Green was blessed of God with a long and fruitful life; and she was faithful to the very end. She was ready to meet the Lord when she laid down to sleep on October 31, 2025. ARE YOU READY TODAY?
