Mary Diane Green, aged eighty-three, spent most of her life in Savannah, GA and most recently resided in Statesboro and Rincon, GA. She graduated from Jenkins High School in 1960 and kept up with many of her classmates through the years.
Diane was predeceased by her husband of 63 years, Thomas Gerald “Jerry” Green, and her parents, Harry O. Loper and Mary Nina Loper of Savannah, GA. She worked for many years at Custom Cleaners, her family’s dry-cleaning business, alongside her relatives. Diane was known as a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Together with Jerry, she also owned Blue Ribbon Dry Cleaners in Savannah.
She is survived by her two daughters: Debbie Tootle Curry (Leo Curry) of Guyton, GA, and Tammie Nelson of Rincon, GA. Her grandchildren include Dr. Craig Tootle (Rachel) of Guyton, GA, and Matthew Nelson of Savannah, GA.

Her sister, Marilyn Lanier, also survives her, as well as her nephew and niece, Chris Lanier, and Tina Weimer, along with numerous cousins and other family members.
Diane’s hobbies included sewing, crafting ceramic dolls, cooking, antiquing, and enjoying watching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow. She was remembered as a loving and kind individual.

I went to Johnson High School, class of 1972, with Marilyn Loper, and Brenda Mashburn. We always had fun. We skipped lunch at school and went to McDonalds, I got caught with another student and got punished and had to wash pot, pans, and dishes, for two days. I remember I spent then night with Marilyn at her two-story house on the river. I would like to get in touch with Marilyn and talk about the good ole days.
