Martha Ann Green

Martha Ann (Sweeney) Green, 77, passed away peacefully with her sons, William and John, and her brother, Rev. Father Robert J. Sweeney, by her side on Sunday August 18, 2024 at NYU Langone Hospital in Mineola, New York. She was born on October 26, 1946 into the loving arms of her late parents, Robert John Sweeney and Martha Augusta (Loddigs) Sweeney. Martha was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a trailblazer at Hofstra University where she was the only woman in her engineering classes throughout college. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering in 1968, got engaged on Valentine’s Day, and married her sweetheart Bill Green all that same year. Martha was a math teacher at Baldwin Senior High School and later Professor of Mathematics at Molloy College. During her life, Martha was a snow skier, water skier, swimmer, and avid gardener. Perfect raspberries were picked from poolside bushes by family and friends at the annual Independence Day picnic the family hosted for years. She volunteered with the Friends of Freeport charity after Superstorm Sandy hit Long Island and the surrounding area in 2012. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for her infectious laughter and unwavering loyalty to family and friends. Left to cherish Martha’s memory are her beloved husband of over 50 years, William Edward Green, Sr.; sons William Edward Green, Jr. (Julie), and John Patrick Green; her adoring grandchildren, Alexander John, Robert Stanton, and Desmond William; brother Rev. Father Robert J. Sweeney; aunt Gladys Loddigs; and cousin Ernest Eckstein, Jr. (Linda) and their children and grandchildren. A visitation will be held on Thursday from 5pm-8pm at Hungerford & Clark Funeral Home 110 Pine St. Freeport N.Y. 11520. A second visitation will be held on Friday from 9am-11am, with a prayer service beginning at 11am. Burial will follow at Calverton National Cemetery.
