I’m Sending my sincere condolences to Pooh and the rest of the family. I have so many memories with Carrie that I will cherish in my ❤️ forever! I met her way back in 1985 through her dear friend Tyrone Washington and we established our own friendship. One thing for sure about her, Carrie said what she meant and meant what she said! Pooh I pray for God’s Peace and Understanding for each of you throughout this transition 🙏 Carrie you will be missed by many, It’s not goodbye because I know we will definitely meet again beyond the sky. Rest In Heavenly Peace my sister!
Carrie Green, look how far we go back – over 55 years of friendship. We often joked about our shared astrology and how Cancers dealt with every aspect of life. We were sounding boards for each other, and it was far better than having a personal psychiatrist. You would often solicit my advice on financial situations and life’s valleys and hills. We could get testy with each other, and the bond of friendship remained strong and unbreakable. As we got older, we did not see each other as much but the closeness remained through it all.
You always treated me like I was your close family member, and all of your family treated me the same way from Pooh and Thomas to all of your grands.
I will never forget when you wanted to buy a house after I kept telling you that if you can afford rent, you can afford a mortgage! I bought my second home in 1990 and you were encouraged and began the process with my realtor. He guided you through and you became a homeowner when you felt it was not possible. You always told me you were glad you listened to my advice. A few years ago, when you were close to making your last few payments, I asked you to pay it off and save hundreds in interest. Knowing you, I knew you had a nest egg. As always you listened and you, a single mother actually paid early and owned your home free and clear. God blessed.
Every shred of advice I ever gave, you trusted in my counsel and followed through. We lived long enough to see the fruits of your years of labor.
You were a serious woman and not prone to foolishness and irresponsibility. You made the best of every dollar you earned and never had to climb out of a rut. Like a true Cancer, you handled the income you had like a pro.
I have many memories of participating in the events of your family life like escorting Pooh down the aisle in her wedding as a stand-in for her dad; accepting the City of Columbia “Mr. Football” award for your grandson, Thomas, because Pooh’s family was on a planned vacation and could not attend; and so many other experiences that made me know I was like your younger brother. I have always appreciated your unconditional and genuine love that I knew you were there for me as I traveled through my life. I knew you had my back.
I actually could write a book but I will keep the memories etched in my photographic memory. Thanks for being a wonderful part of my growth and development in this world. When you see Jesus, I know you will remember me to Him and you will be one of my guardian angels.
Deacon Speaks, your heartfelt comment means so much to all of us who knew Carrie. You really poured beauty into her time on earth and I know she is overwhelmed and thankful for the sentiments.
Ma, never really saw today coming. At the moment words can’t explain the love you shown me since the first day we met. There wasn’t one day we saw each other and you didn’t ask about my daughters and today I want to thank you for helping me support those girls for the last 10+ years. I met you as a client but, somewhere along the line you made me feel like your own son. Your kids gotta feel lucky to have had you in there lives since the beginning. It’s hard for this to be the final goodbye, I love you Mrs. Green. Gonna miss the laughs and deep conversation while doing your hair.
What a wonderful person. I worked with Carrie at the hospital and shared many years with her. What a wonderful sense of humor mixed with frank honesty. We shared much and laughed a lot.
Prayers and condolences to the family.
Prayers for you and family. Prayers for strength and comfort.
Our prayers and condolences to the family and relatives.
Rest in peace.
Pooh & Family.
I’m so sorry that you’ve lost someone who you and your family loved so much!
I know this is a loss that hits you so deeply. You are a wonderful mother, and I know the grief at losing your own mom must be so difficult to navigate
We created many great memories on Mrs. Carries porch in FFA. She kept all of us in check. I Thank her for instilling structure in each of us!. I remembered Mrs. Carrie as being a strong willed woman that has instilled remarkable strength in you. R.I.H.
Sending healing prayers, blessings and comforting hugs.
Mrs. Alenda and Family,
Your mom was indeed a “Bright Light”. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. She inspired me in so many ways. I will keep dear and close to my heart my memories of our conversations, laughs and talk of family. I felt like I gained a sister and heart mom during this process. I pray God will continue to give your family peace and comfort during this time. Love you all so much!
My prayers, and condolences goes out to the Green family during this sad time. Continue being strong, and keep holding on, and looking to the hills of the
Almighty God.
Mrs. Carrie and I became wonderful friends back in 1989. I was her assistant supervisor in Environmental Services at Richland Memorial Hospital.
Mrs. Carrie had a remarkable personality and her beautiful smile reflected the divine essence of her beauty. I will never forget those moments I spent with Mrs. Carrie, just being in her presence was a treasure, that time can’t bring back. Definitely, a true friend with a heart of pure honesty. You will truly be missed, but I still have my flawless memories of you here in my heart.
To Ms. Poo, when you look into the sky and see the vastness of God universe, know that His love is greater still. The greatest expanse of time and space cannot contain the depths of His love for you.
All things were created as a gifts for you. You are the pearl of great price, and Jesus sold all that He had to purchase you. You are the treasure hidden in the field. Jesus came into this world and found you.
Never doubt His love or allow its fire to dim in your heart. Stir up your heart to know His love and experience His endless delight in you.
Let your joyous laughter be heard in your home and in the midst of trials. Let your joy become your war cry! Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
JOHN 14:1-3 KJV.
Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
JOHN14:27 KJV.
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-54 KJV.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Alenda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know your mother, but I know she had to have been special to raise such a wonderful daughter. I pray for comfort and strength for you during this time.
Sending my condolences to Pooh and her family on the passing of Carrie. I worked with her for several years at USC. I would go in early just so we could talk and catch up. After we both retired we still stayed in touch and we loved to go to No Name Deli for lunch. She had the same birthday as my mother. She was such a lovely lady whom I will miss so much. Rest in peace Carrie.
My sincere condolences to the family of Ms.Carrie. May her daughter be comforted in knowing she was loved by many. May her spirit live on through her daughter and those that love her💖

My sincere condolences to the family of Mrs. Carrie. A sweet soul that loved her family to the end. It was a pleasure knowing you and making my family a part of your family. Rest in Heaven ❤️💐
Sending my condolence to the family. Words can’t explain how I feel but I was truly bless to have met her, she let me drive her van to get my license for the first time. Carrie you will truly be miss, till I see you again.
To Pooh and the entire family. I met Carrie in the late 80’s when we both worked at RMH. You never had to wonder about her feelings on any given matter–I guess that was why we clicked and got along like sisters–we were two of a kind.
I commend her daughter for providing care to her during her last days here on earth. When I talked to her recently, she said (as only Carrie could)–“Cuz, those doctors say I won’t be able to stay by myself again…now I don’t know ’bout that!!” I reassured her things would be okay and to PLEASE do what she was told to do!!🤭
She was granted 3 score and 7 with 3 years extra. Should we all be as fortunate.
So, my friend, I say sleep well–you fought the good fight gallantly!!!!
My Sincere Condolences to the Family of Carrie.This was so heartbreaking to hear of her passing.I’m so glad that we did get the chance to catch up a little at ma wake.Carrie you were so special to me and I always loved talking to you.
