Carol Jean “CJ” Greene

Carol Jean “CJ” Greene died peacefully of natural causes in Norfolk May 20, 2026. Born in Missouri, CJ went on to become a registered nurse. Her skill, talent, bravery and patriotism led her to the jungles of Vietnam. CJ served her tour in the Vietnam war as a nurse anesthetist treating wounded and dying soldiers as they came off helicopters and into combat field hospitals. She retired from the Army honorably as a lieutenant colonel.

Though her health was challenged, CJ lived contentedly in the Outer Banks for the past several years in Kill Devil Hills. Her survivors include one daughter, Holly Halter of Richmond, VA; her close friend, Suzanne Neiderlander (Joseph) also of Kill Devil Hills; several other relatives; extended family members; and close friends.

As CJ directed; her memorial mass will be celebrated June 23, 2026 at 11 am with full military honors at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Kitty Hawk. Her cremated remains will then be laid to rest among her fellow servicemen and servicewomen at Arlington National Cemetery. A full obituary is pending.
