Kathy Dianne Greene Chyz, age 74, of Forest City, went to be with her Lord and Savior Wednesday, July 22, 2026.

Kathy faced ill health for many years, a journey she navigated with remarkable faith, strength, and grace. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She was a woman of great faith and had a strong passion to pass down her faith in God to her family.

As a devoted servant of the Lord, following His lead and His voice in furthering the kingdom, Kathy mentored and discipled many women. Some of whom became life-long friends.

Others always came first: a gifted Sunday school teacher, pantry founder, generous gift giver, foster parent and Hospice volunteer.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Louise and Samuel Horn and her first husband, Roy Greene.

Survivors include her husband, Frank and her son, Michael Greene (Kim); grandchildren, Kelsea Hendrix (Josh), Makayla Yelton (Eli), Skylar Greene and Adam Greene; great grandchildren, Eliza Yelton, Paxton Hendrix and Salah May Hendrix; brothers, Bobby Horn, Tommy Horn (Jan); sisters, Linda Clark, Teena Ervin, Angela Jackson and Priscilla Parker (Jeff).

A Celebration of Life was held July 28 at Glenwood Baptist Church of Bostic with Rev. Joe Ervin, Dr. Jeff Parker and Rev. Owen Duncan officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer you support Hospice of Carolina Foothills, PO Box 335, Forest City, NC 28043.
