She was born December 6, 1935, in Ashland, daughter of Emil and Lila (Jacobson) Green.

Gordy and Lleaellyn then moved to Lake Nebagamon where she had a daycare in her home and went back to college. She earned her bachelor's degree from the U.W.S. and then taught school in Solon Springs for over 30 years.

For many years she was a member of Ogden Avenue Baptist Church and then Bayside Baptist Church. She taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and served on the Christian Education Board. Her relationship with her Lord and Savior was always very important to her.
