Elizabeth Galloway Green

December 29, 1935 — October 24, 2024

Elizabeth Galloway Green returned to her Heavenly Home on October 24, 2024. Elizabeth was born in Dayton, Idaho, on December 29, 1935. She was the eighth child out of the ten children born to Harold Galloway and Orilla Archibald. Elizabeth and her husband, Max Kent Green, have four children, Neal (Jill), Curtis (Mindi), Sandra (Brian Law) and Mark (Sheri). They have sixteen Grandchildren, fifty-four Great grandchildren and two Great-Great Grandchildren. 

 Elizabeth graduated from Davis High School in 1954 and then attended the University of Utah where she planned to study Accounting. After her counselor told her flat out “No. Girls are absolutely not hired in that field” she reluctantly changed majors to Teaching. The summers of her Junior and Senior years in High School she worked at Lagoon where she was able to save enough money to send herself to college. After High School, she then got her “first real job” as a waitress at the Davis Drive-in Theatre and then after her first year she moved up to a “Ticket-Taker” at the drive-in. She and Max knew each other in high school but never dated until she was at the U of U and he was attending Utah State University. When Max asked her to marry him and she said “Yes!” He was so excited he dropped down and walked across the road on his hands! Elizabeth married the love of her life, Max, for Time and All Eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on November 23, 1955. They have been happily married for 69 years.

 Soon after they were married their first son Neal was born on October 25, 1956 and their second son Curtis arrived on October 24, 1957, one day before Neal’s first Birthday, giving them a set of true Irish Twins! 

 You did not have to know Elizabeth very long to know how important her family was to her. Her greatest joy was being a mother and wife. She and Max raised four children and loved spending time with them. Many evenings snacking on popcorn and orange juice, fishing trips to the Madison River in Montana in the summer, Monday night Family Home Evenings, and big family gatherings for every holiday were a big part of her life. Becoming a grandma was a highlight of her life and she loved creating memories with her children and grandchildren. Cookouts in the backyard on the 4th of July, Easter egg scavenger hunts, Christmas parties, and watching General Conference at their St. George home were favorite activities of hers. Elizabeth was always there for her family. Her love and support were constants in their lives.

 Elizabeth was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints her entire life. She loved to study the scriptures, sing the hymns and had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ. She served faithfully in many different Ward and Stake callings during her life, in the Relief Society, Young Women’s, Sunday School and Primary. She and Max served together as ordinance workers in the Bountiful Temple for years, touching the lives of many through their kindness and dedication. In 1997, Elizabeth and Max were called to serve their first mission to Nauvoo. Illinois. Their call to serve their second mission in Hiroshima, Japan came in 2001. Elizabeth loved to serve and help others! Elizabeth was a loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, a stay-at-home mom, a homemaker, a talented cook and an immaculate housekeeper. 

 She is survived by her husband, Max, her brother LaVel and sister VaLeen (Thomassen Bullock). Elizabeth was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Orrilla Galloway, her sisters Valora Galloway, Naoma Corburn and Katherine Naef, her brothers Garth, Berk, Harvey and Kent, and great-granddaughter Kisenia Nia Green. Elizabeth dearly loves her Husband and every family member knows how much she loves them. She will be remembered for kindness, strength, gentleness, and the love she shared with all who knew her. Elizabeth’s radiant spirit and love of life touched the hearts of everyone she encountered
